That's a reasonable opinion. Not one that I agree with because Bushnell was referring to Richard Stallman specifically and not to people in general. It was a criticism of Stallman's inability to focus on the important issues and priorities of the MIT Media Lab and the FOSS movement. It wasn't a directive as another PLUG list member used it. This is precisely why I changed the subject to STFU / RMS. As Bushnell stated he's clearly brilliant but also a tragic figure. Imagine if Noam Chomsky or Stephen Hawking behaved this way. I think his comments were also aimed at people like Linus Torvalds who has recently publicly apologized for his abusive behaviour. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
