Hans Reiser arrestedHans Reiser arrestedPosted Oct 13, 2006 8:06 UTC (Fri) by ekj (subscriber, #1524)In reply to: Hans Reiser arrested by NRArnot Parent article: Hans Reiser arrested I don't know. I think it's part of the tendency of many people to want to see the world in black and white. Someone is *either* good *or* bad. Someone is *either* with us *or* with the terrorists. It makes the world simple, and is therefore prefered by the simpleminded. but it doesn't match reality. In reality, everyone has done both good and bad. In reality, most people are neither with you or against you. In real life it's ridicolous to claim that everyone (for example) sceptical about the Iraq war is a terrorist-supporter. We don't know anything yet, other than that Hans has been arrested. But even if he should eventually become convicted, I don't see any reason to discount any of the good stuff he has done. ReiserFS came into the world largely as the result of the efforts of Hans Reiser (and his company). That is a fact. This fact is not changed in any way by the outcome of this case.
