I've jus attended one of the meetings, n had enough. Yeah the group is doing good activities, but can do more good if this kind of arguments and philosophy are avoided or at least confined to personal meetings. The things that are said here are often the same and are also available on popular websites. So what's the diff btwn this ml and the gnu site that has philosophies in it?
Come on man, you have a personal website ryt, post your philosophies there and use this ml for productive purposes. And since the freedom in freedom is restricted freedom accrdng to u, I guess you have more freedom being an active member to kick me out off this ml so please do it if you want.
