My apologies, I was going to leave this alone, but this ... chastisement .. is off-target. At 09:50 PM 3/16/2008, Joel M.

I called one specific statement by LD FUD and hogwash. The statement was an attempt to use an emotional response to an unlikely or improbable action by the IAB sometime in the future to gain an outcome (e.g. don't let this dangerous precedent stand) that matched his personal belief. What would you call it if not FUD? Never mind. Substitute "an emotional appeal" for FUD and "This is an absurd extrapolation of what the IAB may do in the far future" for hogwash and see if you like the text better.
