Dan, as usual your argument is so full of holes. Now go back and look at
the context of those statements instead of taking them out of it and using
them to your own emotional ends.

Each one of them was in response to others out of line behaviour. I stand
behind them in their context.

Let's pick one, it's my favorite, 'fuck your t-shirts' was said to the
VN rep who made one of the most snide and stupid comments I've ever heard
from a commercial rep to a user group. It deservicd a lot more than that,
why did I say it? Becuase VN has been completey irresponsible in the way
it deals with user groups and the promotion of Plan 9. The amount of
effort and work they've put into is clearly demonstrates they really have
no intent on selling Plan 9 to a -growing- audience. That attitude is what
I say 'fuck you' to and say so today.

Oh, you forgot the 'inbred' comment....you're slipping.

It says a lot that you keep this on hand saved up for an attempted shot
across the bow.
