Re: State of Lutenet (was Size of the lute world)

Dear Vance,
                    regardless of whether I find the whole thing (argument)
to be fine or not, I'd love to mention that part of my family was also
exterminated by the Nazis in the WWII, and I clearly see that in the context
the word (nazi) had little to do with it's original meaning.
I belong to the (according to your thinking structure, which in this case-
and for my taste- tends to be a bit simplistic) Liberal/Socialist' sector,
and I believe that a conservative is actually a conservative, and not
necessary a Nazi (can sometimes be both, plus many other things).
Generalizations aren't always a very good idea.
I don't think anyone should be consider a victim in this case, and I don't
really believe that the simple use of the word nazi determines the limit
between the acceptable or not.
ATB,
A
