    Even though I tried to be gentle, Mr. Stallman is continuing his manipulative
    strategies from over the years and even over decades to put words in mouths--
    and--to continue to create more incoherence reporting the facts than there is
    is the actual facts themselves.

These accusations are either false or meaningless.  Your attacks are
not even consistent with each other.  For instance, your first message
criticized me for not mentioning the deep gulf between patent law and
copyright law (although I talk about it frequently).  When I
acknowledged this gulf, you attacked me for doing so.

I encourage people to read my writings and statements about this,
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html and others, and see for
themselves.
