Oh, I just assumed that was what you considered me.

Yeah, when I call a group's behavior "idiotic", lots of people assume
I speak for that group.  Good thing you cleared that up.  Nice work.

Oh, I am quite familiar with your stance.  It is what I was calling
"idiotic".

This is my last post on this thread.  To summarize it briefly:

You tried to justify your stance by claiming that you are not just
being assholes ("mean", whatever), but rather that it is a legal
necessity.  I believe that is false, so I asked, "Where did you get
this idea?"  You gave no answer, which pretty much speaks for itself.

Cheers!
