Hard skip. This is how you get 4chan; a racist, sexist, discriminatory platform in which only the staunchest of Status Quo Warriors thrive amidst bigoted diatribes. > These people, and I’m assuming you consider them as people, who have censored > others with the goal to maintain their status as a flagship organization in > Free Software are the ones who actually deserve to be silenced themselves. So hypocrisy, then? > This is a form of censorship known online as side-scrolling. Where irrelevant > topics are inserted and refactored ad-nauseam until exhausting participants’ > willingness to contribute to a discussion they view a onerous and > unintelligent. Another form of censorship; effectively burying the discussion > in irrelevance. This exact topic, then. I cannot emphasise enough how often this topic has been regurgitated by a select few, making me want to participate publicly less and less. I'm just quietly participating by writing code and documentation for the FSFE. I haven't faced any censorship while doing so, and I disagree often and visibly. But I do so respectfully, and staff and volunteers of the FSFE have treated me nothing short of excellently during my internship and volunteer work. That is to say: The FSFE is NOT a censorious organisation, and all the kerfuffle about this topic is immensely unjustified. I'm just tired of this. Please stop. Nobody is being silenced.
