I'm going to boycott TYPO3 because it's made in Europe, and everyone 
over here knows you Europeans drive on the wrong side of the road. I 
think it's wrong to drive on the wrong side of the road, so that's going 
to prejudice my opinion towards T3 and its community. ;)

To anyone who thinks it's wrong for Kasper to express his wishes: how 
correct is it for you to pressure him to change how he acts on his 
beliefs? What he is doing through his actions is not hurting anyone. 
Except, possibly, it may hurt acceptance of *his* works. That is a 
choice he made. He knows the potential effects, and continues to stand 
by his beliefs and actions. We have no ethical or moral right to try to 
get him to change how he acts on his beliefs in this case.

Either you respect his beliefs, actions and works, or you respect none 
of them. If you respect none of them then stop using his works for your 
own financial gain. Take responsibility for your own words and actions 
or you will not be respectable yourself.

...and I was agreeing with Sander in my own ridiculous way, not making 
fun of his post... FWIW: I live in an area where being non-Christian is 
something to be thought of as a bad thing, so in this case, Kasper's 
personal beliefs would actually help sell TYPO3.
