It is one thing to hold the opinion that infinitely copiable memespace
should be fenced off and privately held the same way as uncopyable
dirtspace, but it is quite another to continue claiming that those who
oppose the former also oppose the latter when you know that's not true.
Either you can't see the obvious fundamental objective difference, or
you are spreading a malicious lie; in either case, further rational
argument with you on the issue is impossible until you admit that this
statement is false, and that "property" and "intellectual property"
are two completely separate things, unfortunate linguistic and legal
similarities notwithstanding.
