Dear Christoph and Gregory,

Hi David,

First of all, I want to let you know that cutting out your reply is due to two reasons: One, your message wasn't in plain text, which, I think, is still a standard for Open Source mailing lists (correct me if I am wrong). Second: You don't actually expect a rational discussion on the issues you raised, do you? 

I refuse to discuss this issue with you, because it would yield the same result as discussing the weaknesses of Psychoanalysis or Creationism with their respective supporters. It's futile, because critical questions only reinforce their dogmas.

If you, as a "white priviledged male", have undergone some training in formal logic, you should also be able to see where youre trail of reasoning went off-rails (hint: at the very beginning).

Getting back to LGM and a CoC: If your fundamentalist perception of society as a whole, your prejudices, your false assumptions, your dogmas and LGM in particular have any chance to become a foundation of an event, I suggest removing "Libre" and replace it with "Righteous" (RGM), because nothing of the original "Libre" will be left.
