Ok, it was about my opinion, why do you feel that you can demand an
explanation of my feelings on an off topic subject?

You really should sit back for a while you seemed to have gotten quite
upset over the fact that I did not think to justify my feelings to you. 

You have ranted about some 30 years in unix development which has
nothing to do with my feelings on a software license, nor does it have
anything to do with whether or not I should justify them to you.  I also
dont know why a difference in backgrounds (30 years ago I was using
primes for example) matters about whether or not to discuss why I feel
the way I do about the GPL.  This isnt even the proper venue for that
conversation anyway.

Why you are this upset is a real mystery to me, the conversation was
quite calm prior to this, and it was on something that really was just a
personal opinion on a specific software license.  

Are you this upset because I dont like the GPL?  That would seem odd,
its not like I was rejecting you personally, denouncing your religion or
anything that way, just saying that I did not like that particular
license.
