But then it was "obvious" to you earlier from your comment

"Basically Bruce can't claim that he "seems real enough" but you can claim he's
maybe part of a pattern of users who file fake complaints to get free upgrades
for a cracked program."

that the post was about "getting free upgrades or cracks" and "he's part of a
pattern" and I'm apparently telling Bruce what he can and can't claim. None of
which were remotely true.

a) "cracks" were introduced by you.

b) "he" isn't part of anything. His *comments* fitted a pattern. This doesn't
mean his comments are on the pattern agenda. People can say stuff that fits, yet
not be on the pattern-agenda.

c) I never tell people what they can and can't say.


I mean this, you mean that, I mean this, you mean that.

If you want to talk whether or not there are dirty tricks, fine, I'll discuss
it.

Otherwise enough.
