Yah. I would not have tolerated the nonsense ms pulled at the CTS. I
would have stayed right there and kept handing out free software and
called a couple tv stations and newspapers about what occured. If they
would have threatened to have me arrested, I would have said o.k., then
sued the city of Clearwater for violating my first amendment rights as
well as sueing the arresting officer for false arrest and false
imprisonment. Then a suit against ms for conspiracy.
This would create a very bad public relations situation for ms which
could be usede as ammunition again and again. You have to aggressively
oppose the Nazi mentality of microsoft. Microsoft must die.
