I wonder why the bright kids at MIT put up with this sort of thing. Pathetic

[ilugd] Demolition of Chennai Conspiracy Theory (Was : Fwd: [Fsf-friends] Comrades’ new-found love with IT)

 Let me try to sketch out a possibility you may not have thought about...

 possibility
 Some youth who were inspired by the ideals of free software and
 FSF/FSFI wanted to contribute their efforts to building the free
 software movement in TN. They were not aware about FSFI's policy on
 local chapters(I can safely say that not many knew that until
 recently) and did not know that they would have stones thrown at them
 for using the FSFI logo and also branded as misguided activists of a
 political party. They invited people who they felt would support the
 cause of free software. Due to being extremely busy in organising such
 a program they were not able/forgot to send a mail to the required
 lists.
 Then certain people on this list, instead of trying to guide these
 youth, started throwing stones at them. Youth do not want to be beaten
 with stones and hence do not reply to FSFI's mail.
 /possibility
 Sasi Sir,
 In your wisdom please see if such a situation is even remotely possible.

 Thank you for presenting another possible scenario. But this still
 leaves me with several doubts. They knew of the existence of FSFI,
 enough to use the logo. The minimum they could have done was to write to
 any of the FSFI mailing lists to inform FSFI about their intentions.
 They did not do so. FSFI wrote to the email id given in their website to
 ask about the people who were organising the conference. There was no
 response. If someone wants to condone these things, they will have to
 admit that these people were very naive and ignorant. But the contents
 of the newsletter they had put up on their website showed that they were
 not all that ignorant about Free Software or FSF.

 Dear Vikram,

 I don't think I am a very wise person. There is too much to understand
 about life for most people to become really wise in their lifetime. In
 my limited wisdom and intelligence, I think the scenario you have
 described is possible, but very highly improbable.

The fact that you have admitted that this is a possible situation is
sufficient.  In a court of law, if there is room for doubt then an
entity cannot be condemned and thus unless the situation I have
sketched out is disproved beyond reasonable doubt the Chennai
conspiracy theory stands demolished.

change you wish to see in the world.
