Hello,
In retrospect, given some of the comments I received, and a lot of
time wasted by everyone, it was probably a bad idea to ask for
help. As a response to one criticism, I would say that I never
asked anyone to "blindly erase" information from the Bacula
wikipedia web page. I explained what happened, explained what I
had tried to do and what I was trying to do and assumed that you
are grown up enough to make your own informed decisions.
For those of you who helped, thanks -- sorry if it wasted your
time. For those of who who don't agree with me, read my first
sentence above.
With the close connectivity of everyone by the Intranet and the
social media, we are clearly in a new era where people's
reputations can be quickly made by well meaning people and quickly
destroyed by people with their own objectives all over the world.
In the end, each person in this interconnected world can end up
alone reluctant or afraid even to ask friends for help. No wonder
there is so much suicide in the world (don't worry, that is
something I would never consider even for a nanosecond) especial
among the young generation.
Best regards,
Kern

Hello Bacula Users,
I need your help. Bareos, mostly through Maik Aussendorf, is
carrying a negative publicity campaign on the Bacula wikipedia
site:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacula
The problem is every time I remove their propaganda, which is the
following:
======
Bareos Fork
In 2010, a fork of Bacula was started by contributors that were
dissatisfied with the current conduct (by which principal
developers allegedly silently ignored contributions), and the
change to a closed-source license model for the newly created
Enterpise version of Bacula.[5]
Eventually, this fork was made public under the Name Bareos in
early 2013. It's main goals are to keep the software truly
open-source, to ease configuration and introduce new features.[6]
Bacula Systems accuses Bareos of plagiarism and copyright
violations and opened a lawsuit[7]
against Bareos and a former Bacula community member in early
December 2013, alleging violation of IP (theft of proprietary
software) and unfair competition. The Bareos project in turn
considers those accusations as ungrounded FUD.[8]
======
They put it back, and they have complained that I remove it, so
there is an army of "monitors" threatening me.
I would very much appreciate help from any of you who know more
about Wikipedia than I do to help me delete the information that
they keep reposting in the above item. At first I tried editing it
to a more neutral statement, but they keep putting it back, so I
have decided that the best is to totally remove it.
I need your help to succeed. If I am the only one removing this
unpleasant material from the Bacula page, they will ultimately bar
me, and we will be forced to have Bareos propaganda defacing what
the Bacula users and myself have created over the years. If there
are numerous users removing it, at some point they may
understand. I suggest that you leave a comment in why you edited
it to say something like "Removed inappropriate material" or
anything of that nature.
Thanks,
Kern
