| r_schestowitz | "If that's true, I think they are tying to make criticism look more reputable. The lower level stuff is vanishing but I still see lots of other wise intelligent people saying silly things about him.

| r_schestowitz | "I suppose it's easy to dismiss 'sexism' and 'pedophile' accusations as 'background noise' when you don't know people with personal experience of Stallman. And when people say "he's now a reliable orientation point," what they really mean is that they worship him like the deity their atheism denies them." | Jun 01 02:23 |
| r_schestowitz | "I like the #freesw philosophy, but Stallman himself strikes me as a bit crazy." | Jun 01 02:23 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 02:24 |
| r_schestowitz | Ad hominem, aka character attacks, are pretty useless when the issues involved are software issues - and that’s what RMS stands for, at least here. | Jun 01 02:24 |
| r_schestowitz | Poettering would like it, probably, if he could show criticism of systemd were just due to people not “liking” him. LOL. | Jun 01 02:24 |
| r_schestowitz | “it looks bad on them.” - yes, says more about the person doing the slandering, than the person being slandered. | Jun 01 02:24 |
| r_schestowitz | It’s a technique which has been used by the Neocons since the Clinton era and it stinks. | Jun 01 02:24 |
| r_schestowitz | It has encouraged people who can’t deal with issues to lower the discussion to a cesspool. | Jun 01 02:24 |
| r_schestowitz | That’s why U.S. football isn’t so popular abroad - one goes for the player instead of the ball. | Jun 01 02:24 |

| r_schestowitz | I know someone whom he sexually assaulted. She doesn't think much of it, which I think says more about the larger culture than it does her. But she and her husband are certainly not among Stallman's fans. | Jun 01 02:25 |
| r_schestowitz | But even dismissing that episode as anecdotal, what really bugs me about Stallman is the worship accorded him. Sure he has good and useful things to say about many things, even if his propositions about free software are extreme. And sure he's a good programmer. | Jun 01 02:25 |
| r_schestowitz | But there are lots of people with those attributes. And they neither expect nor receive the level of adulation that he does. There is a real sickness here and that repels me as much as anything else. | Jun 01 02:25 |

| r_schestowitz | We're are not talking about your unproven allegations - we are talking, as you well know, about his software activities and it was in THAT context that you were mentioning idolisation. | Jun 01 02:26 |
| r_schestowitz | I think it is clear, now, that you are trolling. | Jun 01 02:26 |
| r_schestowitz | As for your "ethics" - have you reported what you have said to the police or the FBI? Surely that is your duty, otherwise you are either an accomplice to these alleged crimes - or just a slanderer and a spreader of rumours. | Jun 01 02:26 |

| r_schestowitz | I am not the victim myself, not a witness. The nature of the U.S. system of justice means I am in no position to report. It is for the victim herself to report such a crime. | Jun 01 02:27 |
| r_schestowitz | His behavior towards women is in fact part of a very large problem in Silicon Valley. There are fewer women working in high technology than there were when I was a programmer and before. As the victim also works in that industry, I can understand why she might choose not to make a big deal of what happened. | Jun 01 02:27 |
| r_schestowitz | And the very fact that she was in his presence to be assaulted is due to the fact that they are both active in the open source community. | Jun 01 02:27 |
| r_schestowitz | So yes, his behavior towards women is relevant to and, in fact, inseparable from his performance as a programmer and an advocate. | Jun 01 02:27 |

| schestowitz | What is the strategy for shifting the current debate away from "patent troll" and "bad patents"?

| r_schestowitz | Effective activism is usually disruptive and manages to gain press coverage by merit of disruption. What EPO staff has done (not just SUEPO) is a good example of that. I'm just not sure how software engineers can really disrupt pointy-head bosses and lawyers who are scheming (conspiring?) to rip them off with new laws that favour their own careers. ACTA was stopped when people took it to the streets. But what proportion of the population | Jun 04 16:21 |
| r_schestowitz | is sympathetic - let alone understands - patent scope issues? Unless on something concrete like food (e.g. GMO) or cattle... | Jun 04 16:21 |
| r_schestowitz | Spending a lot of effort contacting politicians while they themselves read the Web is in my opinion not the best option. I see patent lawyers in maybe 80% of the news articles I find about patents these days, especially software patents, so writing more and in big numbers may help shift the balance/consensus. There are very few people whom I see regularly slamming software patents these days: Tim B. Lee, Glyn Moody, Mike Masnick maybe. FFII | Jun 04 16:21 |
| r_schestowitz | is nowhere to be seen, the FSF is passive for the most part, EFF talks about "bad patents, and "Patent Progress" (CCIA), "Peer 2 Patent" etc. are just lawyers speaking about "trolls" and "reform" (not the type we're after). Groklaw is long gone. | Jun 04 16:21 |
| r_schestowitz | As I said many times before, we are losing this battle because we are vastly outnumbered (in terms of number of articles) by patent maximalists in the media. It looks like the outside like we gave up and accepted software patents in Europe, too (UPC, EPO's profit-driven approach, etc.). | Jun 04 16:21 |

| r_schestowitz | "If that's true, I think they are tying to make criticism look more reputable. The lower level stuff is vanishing but I still see lots of other wise intelligent people saying silly things about him. The "sexism" and "pedophile" accusations were background noise to keep people from looking further. That has failed and now it looks bad on them. Conde Nasty may clean up Slashdot to hide it." | Jun 01 01:22 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:23 |
| r_schestowitz | Some accuse him of being extreme. He isn't. He draws a line and sticks to it. So, he's now a reliable orientation point, while others meander and sink into newspeak and doublespeak. | Jun 01 01:23 |
| r_schestowitz | RMS is a navigational star ;) | Jun 01 01:23 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:23 |
| r_schestowitz | "I suppose it's easy to dismiss 'sexism' and 'pedophile' accusations as 'background noise' when you don't know people with personal experience of Stallman. And when people say "he's now a reliable orientation point," what they really mean is that they worship him like the deity their atheism denies them." | Jun 01 01:23 |
| r_schestowitz | "I like the #freesw philosophy, but Stallman himself strikes me as a bit crazy." | Jun 01 01:23 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | Ad hominem, aka character attacks, are pretty useless when the issues involved are software issues - and that’s what RMS stands for, at least here. | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | Poettering would like it, probably, if he could show criticism of systemd were just due to people not “liking” him. LOL. | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | “it looks bad on them.” - yes, says more about the person doing the slandering, than the person being slandered. | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | It’s a technique which has been used by the Neocons since the Clinton era and it stinks. | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | It has encouraged people who can’t deal with issues to lower the discussion to a cesspool. | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | That’s why U.S. football isn’t so popular abroad - one goes for the player instead of the ball. | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | No Maradonas or George Bests in the NFL :D | Jun 01 01:24 |

| r_schestowitz | "David, are you telling me that you were raped as a child by Richard Stallman or know someone who was?" | Jun 01 01:24 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:25 |
| r_schestowitz | I know someone whom he sexually assaulted. She doesn't think much of it, which I think says more about the larger culture than it does her. But she and her husband are certainly not among Stallman's fans. | Jun 01 01:25 |
| r_schestowitz | But even dismissing that episode as anecdotal, what really bugs me about Stallman is the worship accorded him. Sure he has good and useful things to say about many things, even if his propositions about free software are extreme. And sure he's a good programmer. | Jun 01 01:25 |
| r_schestowitz | But there are lots of people with those attributes. And they neither expect nor receive the level of adulation that he does. There is a real sickness here and that repels me as much as anything else. | Jun 01 01:25 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:25 |
| r_schestowitz | "David - people cheer a fighter - lighten up :)" | Jun 01 01:26 |
| r_schestowitz | "A fighter, really? One who assaults women? That's a fighter to cheer for, all right." | Jun 01 01:26 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:26 |
| r_schestowitz | We're are not talking about your unproven allegations - we are talking, as you well know, about his software activities and it was in THAT context that you were mentioning idolisation. | Jun 01 01:26 |
| r_schestowitz | I think it is clear, now, that you are trolling. | Jun 01 01:26 |
| r_schestowitz | As for your "ethics" - have you reported what you have said to the police or the FBI? Surely that is your duty, otherwise you are either an accomplice to these alleged crimes - or just a slanderer and a spreader of rumours. | Jun 01 01:26 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:26 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Jun 01 01:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I am not the victim myself, not a witness. The nature of the U.S. system of justice means I am in no position to report. It is for the victim herself to report such a crime. | Jun 01 01:27 |
| r_schestowitz | His behavior towards women is in fact part of a very large problem in Silicon Valley. There are fewer women working in high technology than there were when I was a programmer and before. As the victim also works in that industry, I can understand why she might choose not to make a big deal of what happened. | Jun 01 01:27 |
| r_schestowitz | And the very fact that she was in his presence to be assaulted is due to the fact that they are both active in the open source community. | Jun 01 01:27 |
| r_schestowitz | So yes, his behavior towards women is relevant to and, in fact, inseparable from his performance as a programmer and an advocate. | Jun 01 01:27 |

| schestowitz | What is the strategy for shifting the current debate away from "patent troll" and "bad patents"?

| r_schestowitz | Effective activism is usually disruptive and manages to gain press coverage by merit of disruption. What EPO staff has done (not just SUEPO) is a good example of that. I'm just not sure how software engineers can really disrupt pointy-head bosses and lawyers who are scheming (conspiring?) to rip them off with new laws that favour their own careers. ACTA was stopped when people took it to the streets. But what proportion of the population | Jun 04 15:21 |
| r_schestowitz | is sympathetic - let alone understands - patent scope issues? Unless on something concrete like food (e.g. GMO) or cattle... | Jun 04 15:21 |
| r_schestowitz | Spending a lot of effort contacting politicians while they themselves read the Web is in my opinion not the best option. I see patent lawyers in maybe 80% of the news articles I find about patents these days, especially software patents, so writing more and in big numbers may help shift the balance/consensus. There are very few people whom I see regularly slamming software patents these days: Tim B. Lee, Glyn Moody, Mike Masnick maybe. FFII | Jun 04 15:21 |
| r_schestowitz | is nowhere to be seen, the FSF is passive for the most part, EFF talks about "bad patents, and "Patent Progress" (CCIA), "Peer 2 Patent" etc. are just lawyers speaking about "trolls" and "reform" (not the type we're after). Groklaw is long gone. | Jun 04 15:21 |
| r_schestowitz | As I said many times before, we are losing this battle because we are vastly outnumbered (in terms of number of articles) by patent maximalists in the media. It looks like the outside like we gave up and accepted software patents in Europe, too (UPC, EPO's profit-driven approach, etc.). | Jun 04 15:21 |
