After having anon follow me around and harass me, I think there needs to be more balance in the arguments against MM. MM takes many ridiculous positions and can be unbelievably offensive, but at the same time I wonder how much of that is being caused by anon.

Anon needs to learn to have some respect for others opinions and to read and understand what people’s opinions are. The fact is that the anti-patent movement has some points that are hard to refute. Is there anyway to actually prove that patents are helpful? The biggest problem with the anti-patent movement is that they have cloaked themselves in lots of statements that are not scientifically supported and they are driven by the money of large international corporations (and have bought off the academics.)

Nonetheless, the focus should be on trying to narrow the disputes and trying to get to a point where we can at least agree on what our disputes are.

After having anon follow me around and insult me, I wonder in reading the interactions between MM and anon how much of it is driven by anon harassing me MM. Maybe MM would become more reasonable if he weren’t so obsessively harassed.

anon, you need to chill out a bit and figure out what parts of your arguments are well supported and which parts of your arguments are not well supported.
