It seems like you only think the author has a right to be frustrated if the license is used in an illegal way, not if they license is followed but the users are abusive.

Ah, sorry. I didn't realize that something you said less than half an hour ago, in the same thread, in the same context, has no business being quoted.

Apologies.

Who would of thought things you said previously about a subject might be brought up later in the conversation?

Please don't be a jerk on HN.

Don't feel bad. I've learned a lesson; never enter an open source discussion with GPL developers.

Please don't post unsubstantive comments or get involved in flamewars here.

No, the lesson is to not say stuff in a discussion and then refuse to discuss it.
