    My apologies, apparently I cannot agree with you and add something to
    the conversation without you taking it as criticism.

My initial response was friendly in tone, and did not attack you.  I
said I agreed with your statement about the "very great difference"
and that this difference is the basis for my campaign against the term
"intellectual property".  It was then that you became nasty:
"Mr. Stallman is continuing his manipulative strategies..."

    > You criticized my message for not mentioning the "very great
    > difference".  I responded by acknowledging that great difference, and
    > then you were very nasty.

    I find it somewhat out of place that you think that someone using your
    very own same words should be considered "nasty,"

I quoted above your reply to my acknowledgement of the "very great
difference".  Those words do not come from me.

You ought to learn to keep better track of your own attacks.

    Then you won't mind at all if and when I point out your manipulations,

You can't "point out" what isn't there -- you can only fabricate it.
