I challenge you to show any ad-hominem in my reply. I merely translated James' message. I made no comment as to whether or not I agree with it, and I continue to reserve silence on that question.
I also don't recall James posting negative comments about Wine every time Slashdot/Osnews/anyone has a news entry about Wine, nor attacking their channel, or forums. James has only posted his views on the ReactOS forum and mailing list. He has not gone out of his way to attack anyone, so I believe that comparing him to McCormack is unfair. James *was* banned from their Mailing List, so at least some of his points would seem to be valid.
You are free to disagree with his views or find him annoying -- that is Aleksey's business, he makes the law. As long as James continues to be one of the most active developers of today and finally helping to fix Win32k (with Timo and Magnus), I doubt you will have much luck silencing him.
Please don't attack me again for merely clearing up facts from opinions from crazed stories of Wine world domination plans.

You should read behind James's right-wing tone and ramblings (which, say what you will, is an effective means of getting his point across, if only by the fact it creates responses such as yours), and drill down to his actual not-so-insane point: SFLC is evil. FSF is evil. Wine is their tool.
No its not. It further alienates people in the middle. James has become the ReactOS equivalent of McCormack on this issue. Now its my turn for ad-hominem, drop the evildooers bullshit as it makes both of you sound like Bush and deal with facts.
