You are entitled to your opinion of course, i have said on more than one
occasion (before donating to CCC was even an issue) that i dislike CTF and that
i don't like the association of CTF with CCC, reading and posting at CCC knowing
that CTF is associated with it is annoying without having to pay, but
contributing for CTF to continue (even if it was just by association) is out of
the question for me and that is a question of principles wheter you like it or
not.

"I have been avoiding to answer to your indignant remarks. Your prejudice has
transformed into a vendetta, of sorts. The problem is that you don't want to
contribute money; and that is fine, so long as you don't try to hide behind some
drummed-up demagogy."

I have only expressed how i truly feel about this issue, you can call it
whatever you like and disagree as much as you want, but please don't try and
read something into it that is not there. The fact is that i don't like CTF,
this does not mean that by default it is a bad place, just my opinion... I do
not have a vendetta against CTF, but whenever someone mentions this issue i
speak my mind, just as you are entitled to. I am not hiding behind anything
here, i am just being honest about how i feel when it comes to CTF.

I never said CTF was despicable, i said horrible, please don't put words in my
mouth.

Just to be clear, out of principle i refuse to _pay_ to maintain CTF.
