Accusations, accusations, always accusations

Quoting Pete Schaeffer:

        Don't MAKE me quote Voltaire on you, boy!

        Pete is engaging in ace, prime, bone-deep name calling.  Not
content with arguing a point on its own merit, he takes the stance
"Whether or not your point has merit, YOU ARE AN IDEOLOGUE!" and wants
to declare the debate over.

        With respect, I'd like to see the end of this conversation, as
it's not accomplishing anything (certainly not license review).
