If you accuse Google of "monopolistic behavior" and I simply point out
that in fact they are not a monopoly then we have a difference of
opinion, which we are both entitled to.  We are not entitled to our

if you are elected, will you be banning me from posting because I am
not sufficiently anti-Google enough?
