I wouldn't exactly call the comment you're replying to an ad hominem attack.

Why not? You don’t think it changes the topic from being about the content of the comment (open source drivers) to being about the person who wrote the comment (what they should and shouldn’t be permitted to say based on how much they paid or didn’t pay)?

If the problem lies in the entitlement of a person, an appropriate response is going to be an ad hominem, and rightfully so.

You have not shown any signs of this spectre of entitlement haunting your every comment. If you had, an appropriate response would be educational, helpful, or perhaps a link to Rich Hickey's Gist[1].

By your comments, it would be appropriate to ad-hom you now for your apparent entitlement to controling other people's speech about OSS, right?

Its simpler: your attitude is bad, i told you off, you have no intentions to change your attitude, neither do i.

And if thats "controling other people's speech" to you, then yes, your attitude is the problem. Realistically, i'm just some random dude on this forum, telling you off is the worst thing i can do to you.

Enjoy your refund.

> "you have no intentions to change your attitude, neither do i."

Multiple times now I have pointed out that I have not shown the behaviours you are accusing me of. The difference of who has intentions to change is that you are wrong.

> Enjoy your refund.

You are free to link to the place in this thread where I personally said I was unsatisfied with some piece of software, or unsatisfied with the work someone was doing on it, or in any way mentioned desiring a refund or expecting more work? I think you won't be able to find such a place, so your 'clever comment' falls flat.
