You are missing the point. He said why he downvoted you and you replied with a general rationalization on why he should agree with you, when that's entirely NOT the point. You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. We probably all agree with you in some fashion, just not the way you put it.

I read the statement on the Microsoft blog, before coming to see the comments and that blog statement IS smug, self preening, self-congratulary tripe created by a lawyer and a company who want to ingratiate themselves with government for whatever agenda they have in mind.
That blog entry is not targeted at computer users, it is targeted at the government.
