schestowitz__[TR]>> of the posts (the family I mean), or at least the shoot-the-messengerAug 20 04:29
schestowitz__[TR]>> tactics, insinuating without evidence "mental illness" and the like...Aug 20 04:29
schestowitz__[TR]> You mean the suggestion that Frans was mentally ill or people suggestingAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> that anybody else might be today?Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> My contention is that Frans was worked to death.Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> Medicine and law recognize a strong distinction between mental illnessAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> and mental injury.Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> In the latter case, the death is much more like a case of workplaceAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> accident.Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]>> I know those tactics. I've done Techrights since I was 24. How do youAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]>> think Novell staff tried to discredit "Boycott Novell"? Threats,Aug 20 04:30

schestowitz__[TR]>> As for LWN, Corbet is in 'Linux' Foundation and he's between some rockAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]>> and a hard place. This is a systemic problem.Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> Nonetheless, it would be good to bring out anything that might beAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> positive for Frans.  I don't want to give credibility to any argumentAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> that he wasn't somehow good enough for Debian.  To clobber another myth,Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> I don't wish to suggest that Frans was unstable and therefore everybodyAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> in Debian is a bit unstable.Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]There was a misunderstanding. I said mental illness" because I saw that smear used against the debian.community site, not people whom it wrote about (at least one does have mental issues, being bipolar by one's own admission).Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> It is the same with the Albanian girls in Mexico.  The pictures would beAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> great clickbait but my only interest is in showing them men who boughtAug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]> their tickets and maybe the more qualified women who missed out.Aug 20 04:30
schestowitz__[TR]The use of the word "traffic" is not helpful and can be demeaning to the girls who unwittingly participated or went along.Aug 20 04:30
