I'm unable to discuss the merits of the respective arguments. I'm just saying Edouard's head didn't get bitten off (no angry, gratuitous attacks on the poor fellow), which is what I was expecting when I visited the link you posted. I'm afraid a casual, facetious mention of COBOL doesn't quite cut it in this regard. That an unfair decision might have been made concerning your "cause" is something entirely different.
