The problem is people can write, but not read. Read Mike's e-mail
again. Let me quote it, in case you lost it:
So here's the big thing: Stallman isn't saying that he won't meet with us
under other conditions, but he is saying that *promises* to meet with us
only if we change the name of TCLUG to Twin Cities GNU/Linux User Group
(TCGLUG?). He wants the GNU in there!
So, P (change the name) -> Q (RMS meets with us) . How can you twist this
around to !P -> !Q is beyond me.

Look up hypocritical in the dictionary, before you use it again.
