[QUOTE="Setanta, post: 1494708, member: 2183"] Egads, lots of posts while the message boards were slow this morning. First, I generally void this kind of thing (note the low post count combined with the old join date- I'm a lurker, not a poster) because I've seen too many of these things devolve, but the two main people I'm conversing with here are being cool even though we don't agree. That's great. Look, everyone that I've this conversation with (face to face, not over the Internet) complains about being pulled over for going barely over the speed limit if they perceive their driving to have been safe. Who knows, maybe it's a California thing (everyone speeds in LA), but there it is. So, those people are basically applying the spirit of the law ("drive safely") and largely ignoring the letter of law ("drive at a ridiculously low speed for no apparent reason"). Maybe that's why I understood the analogy immediately when someone else posted it. The original poster also lives in the LA area. On this thread, everyone I'm disagreeing with is standing behind the letter of the OGL, which is fine. I'm just saying choosing to follow the letter or the spirit of the law depending on which one is most advantageous is something of a double standard. As for accusations, I'm not the one using words like weasel and worm in my posts. My "weasel words" as you called them are there to make it clear I'm speculating, nothing more. [/QUOTE]
