Um. No. Just no. The entire paragraph is an excellent example of what
I mean: An anti-socialist complaining that an anti-socialist nation
isn't anti-socialist *enough*. But let's not dwell on US politics,
please.

You still haven't put forth any convincing arguments why the one would
inherently exclude the other. You conspicuously failed to respond to
my addendum, in which I described how I interpreted the whole
Sklyarov-bashing affair.

No, I volunteered it. What of it?

I have to admit: While this thread does tangent some topics in which
I'm genuinely interested, this thread bores me. US politics and
irrelevant parts of Stallman's psyche. Honestly. The only thing in
this thread which piques my interest is the fact that you seem to be
consistently putting two spaces between sentences. I can't think of
any current style manuals which prescribes this, with many of them
explicitly prescribing a single space between sentences. It's not
criticism or anything; I'm just curious as to why you do this. Is this
because it makes the text more legible when rendered with a monospaced
font? That's the only reason I can imagine.
