Last Monday, John Sullivan, the FSF Executive Director posted a nasty
put-down on the libreplanet-discuss list, maliciously misquoting[1] what I wrote and minimizing my concerns. Has anybody seen other examples of
misquoting recently?

When I attempted to reply, he censored me from posting any further
replies on the libreplanet-discuss list.  How many other people are
censored there too?

Ultimately, libreplanet-discuss is a channel that is the property of
FSF. Some staff member or committee at FSF sets the rules and makes
final judgment on what is or isn't allowed on this email list.

They do control the list, but it is not property. At least not of the non-artificial type and to that extent they only "own" it to the degree that they can control it.

I don't respond well to misleading email headers unless I'm in a
curious mood or some other good mood.

How many people detected email header shenanigans and privately
blacklisted every domain you use?

Maybe you should use other channels that are less centrally
controlled, to call out censorship. It's a lot of work, but it's the
clean way to do it.

I've pointed out some other channels for exactly this reason. Channels which hit a heck of a lot more people than the libreplanet mailing list.

What is sad is that a sizable portion of the tech community has no problem with the censorship. Thus we will build new channels as time allows. It's really that simple. In fact we are building new countries. The libertarin migration movement is largely made up of technically minded free people. If you don't like being censored you'll find people here who may or may not agree with you, but they will not attempt to censor you, for the most part (there are always a minority of people who pretend to be something they aren't and do the opposite thing they claim). They also won't try and control you.
