Fine, but it is off-topic.
All you do with an ad-hominem attack is trying to distract from
whatever point is being discussed and turn the attention, not to the
arguments, but to the person.
It is the equivalent of saying "But he is ugly".

Yet you seek black and white answers. You closed with one your post
and demand and answer, I am just not interested in that level of
discussion.
I am not sure how you made the quantum leap from a discussion about
GNote into control of data.
And I have no idea what data you are talking about that the Great
Satan is trying to Control.

Yup, very much what I have been advocating for years.

You launched yourself into an ad-hominem attack, Hadron merely stated
the obvious.

This is getting offtopic with GNote and language choice.
I would be curious to see how he advocated the "suppression of
freedom".
One man's "advocate for FOSS" is another man's Poisonous People:

Microsoft has its share of defects. But rehashing defects from 15
years ago is hardly making a point.

I am not sure that I will hang around here for long. It is not
possible to have a discussion here without someone attacking someone
else.

They are both primitive insults.
The sign of shallow arguments.

See above re: "extremism"
