I do not encourage nor do I participate in the disruption of internal project channels or forums that are task oriented such as help forums or task oriented tools like bug trackers. """
Did someone make a claim on that either way?

Please just call a spade a spade, Jef. You troll every Ubuntu related thread you see here. To the point that if you missed one I (and I expect others) would be concerned for your health and welfare. You might consider that behavior "advocacy". But it's bad advocacy. Meaning that people who might already agree with you might nod their heads. But people who don't happen to agree already just tune you out and your message is not heard. What does that accomplish? I guess you think that you are "exposing" Canonical or some such. But outside of that clique which already agrees with you, it's just bad advocacy for your cause. Bad advocacy for Fedora. And bad advocacy for Linux and FOSS. Others have called for a 'spaleta-filter'. I am opposed to this idea because I believe it is important to keep tabs on the damage you do. If your goal is to effectively persuade others to your cause, you are, in my opinion, going about it all wrong. You might want to pause in your crusade for long enough to think about that.

I'm pretty sure I don't troll the Ubuntu security update announcements in LWN....yet.
If you think this is bad then you aren't really watching the Fedora communication channels... I do far more damage to Fedora when I talk in the Fedora dedicated communication channels.

What you say and do in Fedora-specific channels is your business and your responsibility. For a number of reasons, it would not be appropriate for me to show up to criticize.
