| sebsebseb | FurnaceBoy: Hey | Dec 02 17:02 |
| schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: get this. | Dec 02 17:48 |
| schestowitz | Someone wants to separate politics from FOSS. | Dec 02 17:49 |
| schestowitz | And sends me mail which I disagree with.... the typical discouragement | Dec 02 17:49 |
| schestowitz | "I don't know if you are just being obtuse or ignorant but, for the last time I will say this: | Dec 02 17:50 |
| schestowitz | ""01. The IRC channel is a waste of time and merely functions for your enemies to gather material in order to trash your reputation. Nothing said on that channel is of the slightest use to anyone. You also don't seem to have any sense of appropriateness or who your intended audience is. Company CEOs and leaders of educational establishments." | Dec 02 17:50 |
| schestowitz | I don't run a PR agency :-) | Dec 02 17:50 |
| schestowitz | "What impression do you think they would come away with? Oh, but wait, you either don't care or are unable to ascertain the effects of your utterances on the intended audiences." | Dec 02 17:50 |
| schestowitz | "A case in point, as in you mentioning Wikileaks on IRC. Just this once, I'm going to explain it to you. Currently Wikileaks is a target of the US establishment and its founders reputation is being | Dec 02 17:50 |
| schestowitz | discredited in the press through false accusations of rape. Lets say some journalist, in search of tech stories were to chance upon the IRC log, what would he see, just some stoner/radical activist, nothing to see here, moving on." | Dec 02 17:50 |
| schestowitz | IOW: | Dec 02 17:50 |
| schestowitz | I should just obey the smear campaign | Dec 02 17:51 |
| schestowitz | And move along ignoring wikileaks | Dec 02 17:51 |
| schestowitz | "Now, before you say it don't matter. IT DOES MATTER TO OTHER PEOPLE. People whos' opinions count, people in the "Free software movement" and people who might want to find out about it. This would not be a good time to mention Wikileaks in an IRC chat that is being monitored by your opponents. Do you not have any fucking common sense !!!" | Dec 02 17:51 |
| schestowitz | "...Do you not get it yet. For the umpteened time your postings are not doing you or the cause any good. In fact they are doing the exact opposite. The techrights site is only marginally useful as a source of links, but is too confusing for the average layman to make sense of. Your mixing of personal opinions and facts also tends to dilute the msg." | Dec 02 17:51 |
| schestowitz | "Finally, and for the last time, your time would be better served in writing short/concise reports on tech issues of the day and providing them to the tech press. If you are unable to change, then might I respectfully suggest that you stop supporting the cause." | Dec 02 17:51 |
| schestowitz | Thanks, but no thanks. But there's another example right here of attempts to convince people to avoid important issues | Dec 02 17:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | I disagree with it as well. | Dec 02 17:58 |
| FurnaceBoy | i dislike the veiled attacks in that mail | Dec 02 17:59 |
| FurnaceBoy | you could go through with a highligher marking the assertions they are putting forward as agreed conclusions | Dec 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz | Not the first from this person | Dec 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz | Goes back like a year | Dec 02 17:59 |
| FurnaceBoy | somebody with a bee in their bonnet | Dec 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz | And I don't hear anything like this from anyone else | Dec 02 17:59 |
| FurnaceBoy | right | Dec 02 17:59 |
| schestowitz | had that been a pattern, I'd consider | Dec 02 18:00 |
| schestowitz | This person said this for ages | Dec 02 18:00 |
| FurnaceBoy | sounds like somebody who hates irc and/or doesn't understand it | Dec 02 18:00 |
| schestowitz | irc is important to us | Dec 02 18:00 |
| schestowitz | COmments get trolls | Dec 02 18:00 |
| FurnaceBoy | also, gets off on personal attacks disguised as 'helpful criticism' | Dec 02 18:00 |

| FurnaceBoy | do you know who they are on irc ? | Dec 02 18:01 |
| schestowitz | no | Dec 02 18:02 |
| FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: ignore the mail then. | Dec 02 18:06 |

| schestowitz | this one is not a Microsoft fan | Dec 02 18:07 |
| schestowitz | But he objects to some things | Dec 02 18:07 |
| FurnaceBoy | i wouldn;t waste time on it | Dec 02 18:17 |
| FurnaceBoy | sure, we could spend an hour deconstructing and responding to each 'point' and insinuation in the mail... | Dec 02 18:18 |
| FurnaceBoy | probably his objective, even if subconscious: to force you to give it attention. | Dec 02 18:18 |
| FurnaceBoy | you could respond, inviting them to identify themselves on irc for a real time discussion. :) | Dec 02 18:19 |
| FurnaceBoy | in public | Dec 02 18:19 |
| schestowitz | Don't worry about it... | Dec 02 18:30 |

| schestowitz | For me - using my baby photo to deliver strong content seems like a smart decision in retrospect | Dec 02 19:32 |
| FurnaceBoy | it's from a Soviet poster. | Dec 02 19:33 |
| FurnaceBoy | (my av) | Dec 02 19:33 |
| schestowitz | why choose it? | Dec 02 19:33 |
| FurnaceBoy | because i'm a Commie-lover and a Taliban-lover, in the view of many :) | Dec 02 19:34 |
| FurnaceBoy | i'm tired of the accusations, so let them think it up front. | Dec 02 19:35 |
| FurnaceBoy | anyone who can't see past the avatar i'm not interested in speaking with., | Dec 02 19:35 |
| FurnaceBoy | also note subtitle: | Dec 02 19:35 |
| FurnaceBoy | "Whatever scares you most." | Dec 02 19:35 |
| schestowitz | ahhh :-) | Dec 02 19:37 |
| schestowitz | Shock approach | Dec 02 19:37 |
| FurnaceBoy | it seems to be working. | Dec 02 19:37 |
| FurnaceBoy | people who are afear'd of communism/socialism will immediately conclude that's what I am. and people who think, don't notice it. | Dec 02 19:38 |
| FurnaceBoy | yes, shock approach, if you will. because a rational approach doesn't work either. :) | Dec 02 19:39 |
| FurnaceBoy | i have noticed trolls on twitter have dropped to zero | Dec 02 19:39 |
| FurnaceBoy | or almost zero | Dec 02 19:39 |
| FurnaceBoy | since changing it. | Dec 02 19:39 |
| FurnaceBoy | they still follow and watch, but they don't bother speaking; perhaps because they conclude I am unchangeably communist or something. | Dec 02 19:39 |
