I haven't seen any posts that stated that intention. Have you?
No. You snipped most of the following line, in which I stated why I had originally
brought this up, but now felt it wasn't that applicable:
"(The latter is what I thought Tom was possibly advocating, though reading
subsequent posts by him, I think that wasn't really his point)."

Expressing an opinion that another's attempt to restrict rights through legal means is very wrong, is hardly tit for tat. Expressing an opinion is NOT equivalent to discussing or planning how to coerce people to one's will.
I agree. That wasn't what I meant; the tit for tat comment wasn't meant
as a criticism at all, but I doubt it's worth belaboring the explanation, unless
you really care.
