No, but that is *my* opinion. However Duncan has stated previously |
| 8 |
that, while he probably wouldn't be willing to die to defend his |
| 9 |
freedom regarding open source software, that he _should_ be willing to |
| 10 |
do so. So by your standard, *his* use of those terms is really not |
| 11 |
all that far fetched. |

I do agree that the terms are very strong..much stronger than my |
| 14 |
feelings on the subject, which is why I do not use them. But you |
| 15 |
really should read what Duncan has said previously on this [1]. His |
| 16 |
feelings are very strong on the subject...strong enough to justify his |
| 17 |
use of these terms IMO. |
