Do you have an agenda or you just can't think on your own?
By your own description you should up your game a little before writing off some argument as "laughable".
- _Simon 11y agoWow. You do realise that you at part of the problem described? Zero tolerance of others views and a reluctance to listen to criticism followed by petty name calling? I'd love for there to be an adult discussion about software freedom, but that can't happen because Stallman and his followers won't engage in open discussion without posts like yours.
- such_a_casual 11y agoDid you actually read my post? What is my thesis? What was the argument I was presenting?

- crististm 11y agoWhen the only criticism to "a cloud inside your head" is "laughable" I can't help to think it comes either from malice or ignorance. A real argument should carry more weight. (And I realize this goes both ways).
- dang 11y agoI know, but the bias to think that it's malice or ignorance is much stronger than it ought to be, so if we don't all consciously practice the benefit of the doubt, things are guaranteed to get acrimonious.
