>> So is it fair to assume then that you agree with all the resignations (RMS), knee-bending (Torvalds), and turmoil (openSUSE and many others)?

> Absolutely. People should learn to behave like decent human beings, and not like entitled brats.

In other words:

Cyberax: "Richard Matthew Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and staunch catalyst, visionary, upholder and all around grandfather for the entire FLOSS/Libre movement for ~30 years now, behaved or spoke, in my ever so high opinion, "like an entitled brat," and so therefore (I say) it is a great thing that he was "resigned" from his FSF."

So ... speaking of "entitled brats" ...

Please make use of it elsewhere; we really do not need more trolling here.

Thank you.

Nice. Thank you. This is why I pay for my subscription to LWN.

Thanks

Seems to be a rather higher incidence of trolling in the last week or two... what's with that?

Like most of the population currently, they're grounded.

I found his post quite insightful, he at least took the time to explain where he was coming from, which was a lot more than the people who replied to him did. All they did was snipe and you supported them. You might think you are inclusive, but to some people you are not.
