Certainly. Please do state chapter and verse.

I didn't threaten anybody. And I find it interesting that you took the last
line OFF my post, which was:

"(Do you understand NOW why calling Microsoft the 'taliban of technology' is
ultimately stupid, Hitler?)"

As in... they're comparing apples and oranges. And hoping that someone does
something nasty to someone else isn't a threat to them at all. It's an
opinion. (even though when it comes down to it, I really honestly don't wish
Gene or John any ill will... I just wish they'd show some sense of
perspective).

Let's see:

Taliban - murdering bastards.
Microsoft - software company.

You'd have to be an idiot not to see the difference.
