I was on long travel, could not answer you earlier. * Ludovic Court=C3=A8s [2019-10-10 16:29]: > Hi Jean-Louis, >=20 > Jean Louis skribis: >=20 > > * Ricardo Wurmus [2019-10-10 07:09]: > >> I have previously asked you privately to stop spamming our mailing > >> lists.

I am sorry for your experience. I have not "setup the web page to collect hatred messages against you". That you think that is my purpose, that is your own opinion, but it is not. I have set the page to show that there are people who think different than you. You have made your statement in public, and your statement introduces other politics but free software politics into the GNU free software spaces. Guix is part of GNU project, and you are promoting your whatever other politics. I do not know what exactly it is named, I think it is feminism. Call it as you wish, because I am not interested in that other politics. If I am interested I will read it. GNU Project is not political. It is apolitical. Did I ask you to tell me your facts to publish such opinions on GNU Guix pages guix.gnu.org subdomain on GNU.ORG project? Did you answer to me that it is because of abort() joke? Here is the log proving so: http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2019-10-07.log "you've probably seen a number of events, like the "glibc abort joke" episode, the latest episode with MIT, and more" So you are the one introducing thought-frames and you are organizing Thougtpolice Squad and introducing other politics into GNU Project but free software politics. I don't care of your feminism, or contra-feminism issues. I simply don't. I am supporting GNU project for reasons of non-discrimination. For reasons that it is for everybody, regardless of their opinions. You mentioned "the recent MIT episode", but did you read the rebuttals? https://geoff.greer.fm/2019/09/30/in-defense-of-richard-stallman/ https://sterling-archermedes.github.io/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D7UbQ1kc1vQU or https://watchkin.com/y/7UbQ1kc1vQU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DZGF17TbbBcE Is your opinion and statement going to change after reading facts and rebuttals? Are you going to change your Guix statement due to disagreements to your feminism politics in Guix which is in the GNU Project? Could you have some balls and simply take out your feminism politics out of GNU Project? Was there not enough people telling you on Guix chat that for reasons of your politics that they do not want to support Guix neither use Guix? Why are you imposing other directions in Guix system distribution, others but "Freedom Zero" policies that Guix remains for everybody, and not just for those who are on side of feminism? > I ask you to stop using the Guix mailing lists for this now. I will > propose to the Guix maintainers to put you on a moderation queue if > you don=E2=80=99t stop by yourself. For as long is that statement on Guix website, and I live, I will not stop. For as long as you are bringing fear, uncertainty and doubt into what was friendly GNU community of people of various opinions but agreeing to provide GNU free software systems, I will not stop. For as long as Guix as such and you keep pushing other politics into GNU Project but politics of free software, I will not stop. You can put me under your censorship, isn't that what you were doing since the moment I tried asking you about facts? Your own website does not speak of free software politics, it speaks of software as such. But you never mentioned Dr. Richard Stallman or ideals of free software on your personal website: http://web.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/ludo-3.html http://people.bordeaux.inria.fr/lcourtes/ Your speeches are technical not ideological. And who are you then to say that Richard Stallman does not qualify as GNU project leader? You are hacker, programmer, but ideologically, your only stance is in feminism, even that is in covert manner. > Disagreement is fine; attrition is now. That you don't like people's opinion is already clear. But one thing you cannot do nothing about is the snow ball that is going on those political issues that you introduced in Guix, the distribution that received over US $100,000 from FSF and third parties. > My sincere apologies to all the Guix people who are witnessing this. > :-( "Guix people" are not all people, many disagree with you and they told you on IRC chat, and on many web pages. And you know it. Please take your political shit out of Guix pages. Or go out of GNU as being political enough to bring separation in community because of your political views. Make your own projects. GNU was always apolitical. RMS was never apolitical. Many GNU project maintainers are NOT apolitical. If somebody is jewish or muslim or feminist, or contra-feminist, or anti-fascist, or fascist, or nazi, or contra-nazi, I don't care, as we are all users of free software. That is what brings people together. If I have my political views, I will express them elsewhere but on GNU project. GNU Project shall remain politically free. You do care, for you is feminism more important than free software and bringing separation in GNU free software community is harm that you have done and still doing. It is time for you to either bring your system distribution into apolitical environment where only free software is promoted and pushed, and not where your feminism is promoted. Or, what person with balls would do is exactl that what you said, make your own project, but make it elsewhere, as it is now clear that your project cannot stay "feminism free" and GNU being apolitical in that sense, you should make your feminism-pro project for free software elsewhere, and be free to call functions dontabort() if you wish so.
