Shall Intel or AMD also now be tainted, if his computer or server use either of their CPU's?
Are we to boycott ATI or Nvidia for allowing him to use a video card created by them? If his mouse is powered by the serial port which is a patent owned by Microsoft, does it mean Microsoft can require him to stop using their licensed technology because of his beliefs? Worse yet, some of what he has exhaled has tainted all the air, shall we boycott breathing until he stops exhaling? Let's all step back and think about the implications of what you and other have called for. Discrimination on any basis is not and should not be allowed in the 'Debian social contract'. If you feel a need to filter messages based on who they come from, or even to filter who is an author of contributor to any piece of software you use, feel free to use the tools that are made available to you with 'NO strings attached'. None. Purposefully. No one else will make that choice for you, and the ability to freely make choices is ultimately what Debian is all about.
