Re: Regarding OOXML and Microsoft patents

Hi Richard,
As someone who believes strongly about many things, yet to my knowledge
always argues the case and never the person I don't see why you are
coming out defending such behavior here. My criticism was mainly about
the tone of the debate and for someone who himself never resorted to
name calling in this discussion I don't see why you feel its defensible
behavior.
