So *you* are this "Prokofy Neva" person Ive heard about...

I always wondered if the reputation was deserved, ...that question is
now answered
  for me at least.

and I would expect you to put up equally the same as others on this list
when asked
  for details...

Im happy to state full details about myself on this list and invite
anyone to refute me,
  but that is also taking conversations out of scope...

My understanding of this list is to knock out a VW *agnostic* protocol
with means
 to support *multiple* ideologies without exclusion and in an extensible
manner.

do you disagree?

Criticism of software concepts or people's ideas isn't an "ad hominem" attack; labelling perjoratively isn't even an "ad hominem" attack. Even if this can somehow be construed as a "violation," there's been any number of such acts already on this list, that met with your silence. Ultimately *you're* the one the characterized OpenSim as "Leninist"; I tend to agree, given the absence of protections of IP and the rigid conceptions about how the Metaverse must be organized with collectivization.

But, commonsense can prevail nevertheless and you can have a normal conversation urging technologists not to sneak ideological prescriptions into the protocols. As for bullying, your effort to invoke the boys' school rules would be characterized as just that.

There should be authentic diversity and choice, and not a forced march to technocommunism. Virtual worlds need to be sustained by commerce, and commerce is sustained by property rights. Private property rights in general and specifically intellectual property rights are ok; they are not wrong, they enable people to make a living, including technology vendors. Copyleftism and collectivism are only one ideology for the Internet, and can't be the only one.
