You see it all started when someone thought RMS has outgrown his relevance in response to a honest question regarding the identity of RMS.
dont distort history, it all started when the person who made an honest question regarding the identity of RMS got flamed for asking and was threatened with being driven off the list.
That depends on the way you look at it. http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053266.html Thats where the "who is RMS" thing was asked. True I thought Baishampayan was a bit patronizing in his post (http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053268.html), but then he is free to do so. In the very next message in date-wise order (http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053270.html) Dinesh accepts that "the issue is sorted out". Immediately after that we have this: http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053288.html. What was the use of such a post out of the blue? Even after the original question had been amicably answered. I have spent close to one hour in reading the entire archives of the last 2 weeks to find out what made Manu think I am a non-sensical person crazy about FOSS politics. Having done that, I have missed my lunch and I am in no mood to participate in this RMS vs. ESR, FSD vs. OSD, "Debarshi is non-sensical" debate any more. I would rather invest my time in writing some usefull code. People who just want to continue the discussion please carry one, but I am not making any replies to questions directed at me. Not even if some-one calls me an imbecile, moron or whatever. Before finishing off I have one last thing to add. How can some so fond of ESR and BSD ask something like this: http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20060814/053359.html ?? Was this not senseless? Sorry Siddhesh I did not stop the thread at the last post itself, but I am stopping it right here. Carry one fellas, Debarshi -- "I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep.
