This sentence disturbs me, for two reasons: [1] It doesn't appear to be directed at any practical issue. [2] It does appear to be directed at a person. I'm not even sure what "indirect support of software patents" means -- is anything other than outspoken criticism of software patents "indirect support"? [Personally, I don't like software patents, but also think that treating patents as a serious issue is usually but not always the wrong thing to do.] -- Raul
