Some people on this list are criticizing me for continuing this
discussion here.

Some people on this list are posting criticism of the LPF or of the
GPL--sometimes including inaccurate statements about what the LPF does
or what the GPL implies.

Sometimes one person has done both on the same day.

Every message I have sent to the list has been in response to a
criticism posted by someone who is on the list.  I respond to such
messages when I think that correcting them is important.

If the people on the list cease continuing the discussion with
inaccurate or hostile statements about the LPF or GNU, I will be glad
to see it end.

So those who would like the discussion to end, should address
themselves to the people on the list who continue it, not to me.
