bug#37676: Matt, here is kind question to provide facts on your statements about RMS

[Jean Louis]

From:
Mr. Jean Louis
Nagpur, India
Day 3 of week 41 of 2019


Hello there,

I have seen your signature here:
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/

My opinion on your signing of that defamatory, harassing, biased and
fact-less statement is here:
https://gnu.support/richard-stallman/Ludovic-Court%C3%A8s-Guix-is-accusing-Stallman-of-Thoughtcrime-on-his-own-domain-GNU-org.html

Hereby I would like to ask you:

- why are you publishing such hatred on GNU.ORG domain? Why don't you
  publish it on your own personal domain? RMS is not doing that to
  GNU. You are doing it together with others. I find it grossly
  inappropriate!

- which facts do you consider that can support your statement "that
  Stallman’s behavior over the years has undermined a core value of
  the GNU project: the empowerment of all computer users. GNU is not
  fulfilling its mission when the behavior of its leader alienates a
  large part of those we want to reach out to."?

It would be nice of you, if you could send me your opinion in as fast
manner as you have given a signature to Ludovic Courtès to publish it
on GUIX.GNU.ORG

I am entitling you to your opinion. I could not care less what people
write about each other, whatever rumours or facts would be. I don't
mind. 

But I do not approve on publishing that on GUIX website or GNU.ORG
website. Neither I approve of publishing such statements without
commenting possibility.

That is why I am asking you to speak out your mind now. I will publish
your opinion or lack of opinion. I will publish facts you provide me
or lack of those facts.

You have contact form on my opposing view:
https://gnu.support/richard-stallman/Ludovic-Court%C3%A8s-Guix-is-accusing-Stallman-of-Thoughtcrime-on-his-own-domain-GNU-org.html
and you can test me if I will publish your comments or not.

But give me facts that support your statement!

Ludovic Courtès is forbidding comments on his personal blog which he
is mixing with GUIX project on GNU.ORG website.

So what is your opinion? What are the facts?

Jean

Jean Luis,
Seems they don't want to reply, probably because they don't have argument.
Also, the project signs without as anyone to do it, they just did it.
There is not a vote to say 'The project is agree with this issue'.

At least everyone now they don't want to discuss this.
Don't waste your energy on them ;)

Regards!

Yes, I agree with you.

However, those generalized statements are now damaging the image of
Guix then GNU project, and it is giving impression that "all GNU
maintainers" are doing it.

Best thing for those 24 signers to do is to resign from GNU project,
as if they don't like RMS for abort() joke like Ludovic Courtès told
me it was a reason for him to defame RMS, or if they don't like some
of others of his opinions, and that shall be reason for them, then I
propose to Ludovic Courtès to resign and remove the Guix and his
project from the GNU project, including others.

FSF can fork the projects, and has license over majority of GNU
projects. So if any GNU maintainer does not like somebody's face, or
whatever opinions to which everybody is entitled including the RMS,
then they better not be in the GNU Project.

That is like coming to somebody's house and expelling the owner out of
the house because I don't like their wallpapers.

I am asking all those people who have signed the discgraceful
statement to resign from GNU, and find other platform for political
separations and hatred.

Exactly, that is why I am disturbed, that they are destroying the
community as they are using kind RMS to provide them with the project,
with GNU.ORG and GUIX.GNU.ORG subdomain, mailing lists, hosting space,
people who are supporting FSF they are supporting for reason they are
supporting RMS's ideals, goals and purposes for human rights in free
software.

And they are abusing larger part of that community, donators, using
their funds for criminal acts.

But there is a solution, to let them build their own split community
elsewhere and make it right for the world.

They wish to say that none of those 24 will ever have any opinions
that public will not consider socially not acceptable, they must be 24
new Jesuses, free of sin.

Thank you, that is right.

No, I am not wasting any energy, I just wish them to move out and form
their stuff elsewhere out of GNU.

Well, policies on communication can be established better, if you have
any improvement suggestion, why not write to FSF and those who
maintain that forum?
