I apologize for any statements of mine where my frustration at the arguments you were presenting came across as negative characterization of you as a person. > To whom it may concern: my debian-legal and debian-devel postings on > the topic of the GPL are Copyright (C) Michael K.

I'm going to ignore that. As I read it, what you've said here is that you'll take legal action against people who respond to your email messages in a fashion you don't approve of. If you have not intention of participating in this community and actively wish it harm, we would have to configure our email servers to prevent you from sending messages to them, and we might have to get a legal injunction against you in the state of your residence barring you from posting to these forums. Intent matters, to the law. -- Raul
