Dr. Moglen, I'd like to highlight Cowan's advice since I've found it very helpful (and completely un-obvious) in my own life: "Civil apologies require confession, contrition, and promise of amendment." Just a few years past, my younger brother called me out with a similar message and I very much lost it. However, after a few *years* (20?) reflection I came to understand I was very wrong, and that my distraction, distortion, and false apology were morally corrupt baggage. John isn't trying to hurt you, he's trying to help you grow as a person ... if he didn't care about the community and Free Software he would remain silent.
