I use the word "crime" in a metaphorical sense as I am sure you realise.  I do
not suggest that you have broken any law,  but you certainly have and stll are
creating a devisive, unpleasant and downright dystopian atmosphere in our
community.

GNU was always based on mutual respect and willing coorperation.  But now, by
means of your Anti-Social Edict and other tools, you are trying to turn that
into a soviet style oligarchy, justified by some putative "holier than thou"
self-righteous dogma.

If you were succed in your quest, I would want to take no part in GNU and I'm
confident most of my fellow hackers feel the same.
