While I didn't like the "whiny" comment (complete with silly cartoon), I really objected to your blurring the issue of fairness by insisting on focusing on the distinction between trademark and copyright. I also took issue with your seeming inability to debate the issue without resorting to name calling. Now you are showing your dishonesty by claiming that I spend "much of the past few days assaulting" you. I spent a few minutes of my time. You are not privy to my schedule and have no business portraying your conjecture as fact. You claim to have been a lawyer. "Assault" is a term of art. Why are you misusing it? I challenged you to an honest debate without name calling. Is that what you consider an "assault"? You have crossed a line in this blog and made false claims about me. I suggest you retract your allegations of "assault" and your description of how I spent my time (an issue you know little about). If you continue in this pattern, you may find yourself in the area of defamation (depending on how far you go). You will like our discussion then even less than you like it now. You think I "frazzeled" you before? Keep going and I will redefine the word for you. Kurt Mausert Dear David,
