I'll miss seeing your input on this list. This thread smells agenda-driven to me and I've avoided reading most of it for that reason. I think that censorship is the only goal for these people. The details of how they get there don't really matter to them, nor the people they attack. On

None of this anything to do with free software. It has nothing to do with the practical response to the PR crisis caused by RMS' continued refusal to act like a responsible human being. This entire discussion today proved the worst of the FSF to be completely true. I'm pretty much done with this

The TR;DR version of my previous mail is this: Without the FSF, we'd be up shit creek. So please everyone grow the fuck up and move on, and keep doing wonderful things. This infighting helps nobody but our enemies. On Mon, 16 Sep 2019 11:19:26 +0100 Leah Rowe wrote: > > I'm unsubscribing

I'm unsubscribing from this list. The FSF has been stagnating a lot over the years anyway... though I still respect them, and RMS. But I don't like all this spam, and most of what goes on this list appears to be spam nowadays :S Before I do unsubscribe, I'd like to impart some wisdom on you
