| schestowitz[TR2] | "> it was the typical feeding frenzy that happens after a successful cancellation | Oct 27 01:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It was actually a few years later, prompted by Richard Stallman's reinstatement by the board. I don't know what you mean by "feeding frenzy", but I habitually ignore the unreasonable voices in such cases: it's safe to assume I'm not talking about those. | Oct 27 01:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | > "he asked me out once at a conference" | Oct 27 01:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That wasn't the main focus of the criticism I saw. However, there is an important difference between an attendee asking someone out at a conference, and an invited speaker (or organiser) asking someone out at a conference. If you're going to be in a leadership position, you need to be aware of power dynamics. | Oct 27 01:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That's a running theme throughout all of the criticism of Richard Stallman, if you choose to abstract it that way: for all he's written on the subject, he doesn't understand power dynamics in social interactions. He's fully capable of understanding it, but I think he prefers the simpler idea of (right-)libertarian freedom. (And by assuming he expects others to believe he'll behave according to his respect of the (right-)libertarian | Oct 27 01:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | freedom of others, you can paint a very sympathetic picture of the man. That doesn't mean he should be in a leadership position for an organisation as important as the FSF, behaving as he does.) | Oct 27 01:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | > None of them seem to like the politics of Free Software, either. | Oct 27 01:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Several of them are involved in other Free Software projects. To the extent those people have criticisms of the politics of Free Software, it's that it doesn't go far enough to protect user freedoms. (I suspect I shouldn't have got involved in this argument, since I'm clearly missing context you take for granted.)" | Oct 27 01:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Our neighbors are Chinese and the parents cannot speak English. Their child is their interpreter and my wife helps them. The other day they bought 8 packs of organic eggs for us. | Oct 27 03:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So I am happy to know some readers of TR understand China isn't an "enemy". | Oct 27 03:16 |
