"I base my relationships on honesty, trust, and respect. I give all three."

I've read things you've written about women, and I've read your writings on religion. Anyone who has done likewise will know that statement to be demonstrably untrue.

Anyone that reads my writings will be able to see that you are the one saying something untrue. Perhaps you felt disrespected because my publicly stated beliefs contradict your privately held beliefs. Does that justify projecting your feelings onto others?

I'll tell you what, you keep posting your self-justifications here, and we'll let the LWN readers decide, ok?

I'm not a libertarian fundamentalist who's been kicked out of one of the most tolerant groups on earth for being an colossal arse, so I really don't give a monkey's what you think about me.

You know, this seems like as good a time as any to bring this particular conversation to a close. Whatever happened in Mexico or elsewhere is not going to get resolved here. At this point, the existence of a difference of opinion over the project's inclusiveness has been made clear to all LWN readers who have not yet tuned out; do we really need to continue to beat on it? Let's stop, please.
