I dont really want to reply, but as you mention me explicitly, i also dont
want to let this stand.

I oppose the insulting tone of the mail you replied to, same as you oppose

About something that only i and Nicolas support and everyone is against.
I do not know what you talk about here. I made no public statement of
supporting anything. I dont think you should claim I do.

Sometimes the outcome one wanted occurs. Rarely its worse than filling out
