  Bronc, please don't take this the wrong way, but you are SO full of shit.

What would have been an acceptable response to Autodesk's (or eToys) 
demands?  Sit back and take it?

   I think I'm gonna start a career as a professional writer, and I'm 
gonna go by the name of Bronc Buster.  How would you feel about that? 
What if I just came up to you on the street, and told you to find a 
new name? and what if I brought a cop along with me, to smack you in 
the head every time you wrote an e-mail, as a reminder?  Would you 
just accept it?
    Would you feel bad as an "activist" if you took the offense, as a defense?

RTMark did not go up to AutoDesk, unprovoked, and threaten them. 
They merely warned AutoDesk what the consequences would be, if 
AutoDesk decided to throw a punch.  Why this upsets you, I have no 
idea.

   If the eToys debacle proved nothing, then why did AutoDesk 
seemingly back down in the face of RTMark?

  You seem to want to keep the unwashed masses away from the bathtub 
when you should be giving them guns and a map.  This all reminds me, 
for some reason, about something A. Whitney Brown wrote in a book a 
few years back.  He was writing about the Southern Baptists, I 
believe.  "They decide to live their lives in pious misery, with the 
hopes of getting into heaven when they die.  This is like keeping 
your eyes shut through a movie, with the hopes of getting your money 
back when it's over"
