<p>Christopher, this is not the forum to be talking about extermination camps in any circumstances. It is way off topic from the initial discussion on Zoom and free software alternatives. I do understand the point you are making in regards to the use of alternatives but not when it comes to the atrocities that happened at these camps.</p>
<p>I would ask that you apologise for your comments on this list and refrain from using these in the future</p>

<div> </div>
<div>Thank you so very much on your comment. I do agree with you. But understand that libel threats required a response.</div>
<div>I recognise the atrocities without calling for proof by the german government, so I apologise for nothing. Have read the</div>
<div>comment by Ulrike Fisher but disagree upon her conclusion. Besides the fact that the only person who decides what I do</div>
<div>and what I say, is myself.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The only thing to do is for the community to thank me and inform me that it will keep my criticisms in mind. I wish you well</div>
<div>in your special TeX in STEM meeting, and should you desire me as speaker, I am available.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As respect to you, I will decline further suit except on technical topics. I also thank the organisers for reminding me about</div>
<div>the topic upon which I would have much wisdom to share when solicited.</div>
