    It was ruled within the bounds of fair use, if I am not 
    mistaken.

    Just as the scienos do.  His points of view on these cases
    and methods of argument are indistinguishable from those of
    the scienos, AFAIAC.

    I'm not about to let him spin the discussion into the
    very area he claims is our weakest defense.  This is a free
    speech issue.  Not copyrights.

    And I don't take insults and inuendos lightly.  I have been
    subjected to enough of it at the hands of the scienos that
    I make sure to fling back each new attempt to belittle me
    in such a way as to let the person know I won't take it lying
    down.

    Thanks for the thoughts.
