That's actually precisely what Dave does as well. My mail client auto-deletes mails from Dave since I decided I'd had enough when he started telling me I was wrong (and in his eyes probably evil) for actually buying, installing and running a piece of proprietary software on my Xorg/Qt/KDE/Suse/Gnu/Linux (hereinafter "Linux") system. Life for me is easier, and its not because I'm judging him (he's fine to have whatever views he likes), but it's because I no longer have to listen to him sitting in judgement of me. It's the corollary of the right to speak - the right not to listen. He insisted on repeatedly judging me and others around me in ways I feel invalid, so I stopped listening. *shrug* That's my guess about what Richard meant about "boycotting" Dave. He might've been judging Dave as well, dunno. Not particularly interested really. I'm here to talk about code, prototypes and fun stuff, not to persuade people that their views on freedom are "wrong". I don't expect it back, so I took Dave's suggestion of "deploying filters".
