FlorianMueller,

At the expense of doing what you do, always trying to have the last word, that STFU is not normally considered a _bad_ word.

Your arguements as uniformly tendentious, often wrong, _but_ always boring and your need to have the last word is a real pain.

But I have hammered this one to death, hope you get the picture.

Interesting. STFU is above board for someone who demands politeness. How about CRUD, which you also used (and capitalized)?

Finally, in many cases people ask me questions and I answer them. I don't know what would be preferable -- ignoring or answering. In other cases I see misquotes, misinterpretations or misconceptions that relate to what I say. So I set the record straight in many (not all) of those cases.

You still haven't presented a good reason for not using filtering.

And in many cases you ignore the question or divert the answer away with supposition and innuendo.

Here's the question you keep ignoring: Exactly what is your motivation in this? It's been asked several times in different ways and you've ignored the question each time. You've attempted to stir up this tempest in a teapot and have yet to explain why this is so important that you feel the need to delve into legal examinations that you clearly don't understand and you continue to make statements about implied legal liability but have yet to cite single legal precedent in any jurisdiction. The worst part is this is the second "legal problem" with android you've attempted to expose and had it blow up as a non issue but only after it spread widely. The only logical conclusion, baring your own admission, is that you are spreading FUD for a reason that you won't reveal. The only reasons I can think of aren't very flattering to you, I doubt I'm alone in that.
