sometime ago I have been contacted by an user of this list asking me help for a project.
After some messages, this user wanted me to develop an e-store for his client. A big company and this would be a great project (he would pay a large ammount of money for me) so I discovered that it was a hunting stuff e-store. to sell hunting weapons and taxidermy stuff. I reject the job and for sure I did not helped him directly with this. I am vegan and animal rights activist (abolitionist) for me is no go to work in a project where animal exploitation is directly the goal. also I will never directly work/help projects with any kind of racism, sexism or speciesism. But, generally we are here to help and contribute with open source community and web development. I will help anyone if I can, in technical issues even if I do not know the purposes of the project. And I will never be offended if some user writes a religious signature or some sentence which invokes any kind of animal exploitation because I understand that there are cultural limits and I am used to live with this. So, I call you all to not be offended if I came with "meat is murder" or "Go vegan" in my signature. I do not use this kind of propaganda here. but I talk a lot about it in my social profiles. I think it is very health to share our ideas and cultural differences, only needs to be tolerant and keep focus on technical issues. which is the list purpose. and if needed use other channels to discuss our politics. http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno Em 14/10/2011 10:54, "Gour" <g...@atmarama.net> escreveu: > On Fri, 14 Oct 2011 06:26:33 -0700 (PDT) > Massimo Di Pierro > <massimo.dipie...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On the other side you cannot be guaranteed other people like what they > see > > and if they do not they may not help you. > > If I, as vegetarian, would e.g. desist from helping someone else due to > him/her > being meat eater, I'd consider myself as lowest of mankind...however, I > understand your point and will live with it for the time I choose to be > part of > this community. > > > Now, I've enough of this 'IMPORTANT' talk... > > > Sincerely, > Gour > > > -- > “In the material world, conceptions of good and bad are > all mental speculations…” (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu) > > http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810 > > >
