Well I don't know all the fancy debating terminology but I can tell you this, "The whole point of the license-discuss mailing list is to assess licenses, not the people behind them" is bullshit.
If I offer you $20 and when you accept I hit you over the head with a baseball bat, the next time I offer you $20 you won't take into consideration anything but the $, right? The only logical thing to do is accept or reject the $20 based on it's value, connecting the bat in the head to your acceptance would be a logical fallacy. Thankfully we can make more complex decisions than your limited debating terms allow.
