I never said that! I have consistently said that in this case, though I don't know all of the details, it appears on first glance to be tough to take Monsanto's position - the farmer shouldn't be sued, perhaps the grain elevator operators (or whoever knowingly sold them the GM seed) are responsible. My entire discussion with RB is about the broader issue of whether Monsanto has any right to pursue infringement cases for people who knowingly produce GM seeds for profit.
