Following up on the GNOME/GNU fiasco

| Listen people, you donât have to agree with
| RMS. Heâs not a god or infallible. Just stop
| lying about the man and what he says. Just
| stop lying.
|
| If it only happened once or twice, I would
| be generous and assume it wasnât malicious.
| But it is constant, and seems to come too
| easy to be an honest misunderstanding. Iâm
| tired of trying to determine if a person is
| misrepresenting RMS because they are a
| malicious liar, or merely an uninformed
| moron parroting a malicious liar. It is
| quickly become a distinction without a
| difference.
|
| One more thing before I move on: straw man.
| We see you doing it. You arenât fooling
| anyone. Itâs disgusting, dishonest, childish
| and malicious. Stop it. Stop lying.

The vibrators merchant attacks Stallman, as usual.

GNOME Foundation seeks to hide its dirty linen

| A few members of the GNOME Foundation have

| Foundation's mailing list archives private

GNOME: Split from GNU Project?
,----[ Quote ]
| Stallman had also run into conflict with the
| Gnome initiator and Novell coworker Miguel
| de Icaza. He had persistently criticized the
| work on Mono and the involvement of
| Microsoft in various projects.

Mono claims unequivically refuted
,----[ Quote ]
| GreyGeek on the Kubuntu Forums has written
| up an excellent point by point rebuttal to
| a lot of common Mono claims. There is a
| growing discussion about this hot topic on
| the forums as well (linked below). Are
| Microsoft Astroturfers everywhere? Or is
| this love for Microsoft blind?

GNOME and the GNU Project
,----[ Quote ]
| Do you remember the last controversy
| around Richard Stallman and Mono? Well,
| surprise surprise: the players are same!
| Imagine that! Quite the coincidence.
|
| It just so happens that the person calling
| for the vote is the same person that
| created the whole âI am not afraid of
| people writing codeâ slur-meme.
|
| It just so happens that the person
| seconding the call for the vote is the
| same person that crafted âopen lettersâ,
| published private correspondance and
| called for Stallman to be banned from
| speaking at future conferences.
|
| (The irony of calling for someone to be
| banned from speaking while later
| pretending outrage at that same person for
| calling into question how appropriate some
| topics are is quite delicious.)
|
| Again, read the posts to the mailing list
| and on the blogs. Stallman is calm and
| composed while being called a âfascistic
| extremistâ, and subjected to push polling.
| His critics as usual are condescending,
| twist his words, and resort to childish
| rhetoric at every opportunity.
|
| The beauty of the mailing list is that it
| is all laid out there for anyone to see.
