OK, I'll bite. Sides of this issue you might not be consideringOK, I'll bite. Sides of this issue you might not be consideringPosted Aug 25, 2009 23:55 UTC (Tue) by coriordan (guest, #7544)In reply to: OK, I'll bite. Sides of this issue you might not be considering by mjg59 Parent article: FSF to host a mini-summit on Women in Free Software
I was replying to someone who blatantly made stuff up. I thought I made the target of my "making stuff up" comment pretty clear, but you're putting it in a different context (it does apply to a wider context, but not as wide as where you put it).
Then you criticised me for "telling [women] that they're wrong to be offended", which I didn't say at all. Now, when I say the summit could be helpful, you complain that the issue won't "magically get rectified by the existence of a summit" - I never said it would!
Do you think misrepresenting people and making careless accusations is a way to make a gender inclusive forum? I don't think a vague joke by rms is the only problem here. Not by a long shot.

It's pretty straightforward. You're accusing someone of making stuff up. Do you believe that other people who say exactly the same thing are making stuff up? Do you believe that the women who said they were offended by RMS's statement were justified in being offended?
