Man, you are a smart guy. I know this, your posts are generally awesome. How in the hell do you think it's okay for them to try to ban consulting about a product? That isn't "property rights", that's just...fuckery.

I made several comments without fully understanding the situation. I regret making those comments, but I don't regret my comments from being permanent now. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

I know someone who have had their life ruined by having their projects monetized out from beneath them by others; there is emotion behind those comments that shouldn't have been there. It happens to the best of us. I apologize for disappointing, and understand if I've lost your respect.

Nah, dude, everybody's mistaken sometimes. I shoot off half-cocked all the time. I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. =)
