Today we learned that people who had set up the defamatory hate letter "don't want any more individuals to sign up for some reason" and "oddly, that decision came after several people submitted pull requests asking to get de-listed" (I have heard of a few, spoke to a few, and here's one more). So it is perfectly possible that the real number of signatures on that RMS hate (defamation) letter may be going down. So they froze the process. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the number of signatures started to decrease? "Kind of interesting that they stopped accepting signatures 3 days after the support letter surpassed them," Artem told us in IRC. So basically, they're just spreading libel and running away when it backfires instead of retracting and apologising like adults would do. Anyway, the way things are going, it should be clear for everyone to see that the hate letter based on lies was a very bad idea and it's possible that the blue curve (above) should in fact be going downwards. People realise they were conned and they want nothing to do with this con job anymore. Oh, the irony! Will someone at OSI and GNOME Foundation resign? Maybe the whole Board? Microsoft tenants at the GNOME Board of Directors too... ⬆
