What are you trying to say ? We aren't talk about "sympathy" towards anything/anyone here. > Finally, people who are "religious" about FOSS (or other open source I don't understand this either. What do you mean being "religious" about foss/other open source movements. I was being "religious" about freedom, and a few of the members pointed out that, valid or not, this is not the place for it. A few were nice enough to suggest forums where such issues could be brought up. That ended the discussion. So, again, what are you trying to say ? That we should not care about freedom ? Well... > movements) should stop for a tiny bit to figure out if their militant > propositioning pans out in the larger scheme of things. For example, I Care to explain what "militant propositioning" means. It would be nice if people are careful with their language. And again, it would be nice if people do not use phrases just because they have an urge to use it somewhere. > notice that OP as well as other defendant(s) are using Gmail.

No one is talking about windows vs linux(or what ever you are imagining this to be). Again, I am forced to repeat, it would be nice if people do not use phrases just because they have an urge to use it somewhere. > > discussions.

I haven't committed any crime for which there is a need to defend myself. I had some assumptions before I posted, and changed those later.
