Well, asking them to not pollute threads trying to resolve the issue without
having at least the decency to read the appropriate material which was cited
earlier seems ok to me. I didn't ask to read hundred of mails about chinese
dissidents, but i did that in order to advance this issue, and Brian who
dragged me into this doesn't even have the elementary respect to do the same ?

Sure, but the result is that the overall quality of debian-legal advice is
falling down the gutter, together with the credibility of said advice.

And using bullshit arguments wasting my time here i could better spend doing
other stuff, like fixing bugs and such, is not a lack of respect of me, and an
attack ?
