I understand it's tricky. I certainly don't want to start a flamewar, but I do think that these issues are critically important and should not be ignored.
I'd appreciate your feedback if you think it could be improved somehow.
- sctb 10y agoOne thing in that comment that could be stronger is the connection between IBM's behavior then and now ("connect the dots" as a prominent commenter might say). It's perhaps enough to just be reminded of past behavior of the same corporation in order to warrant asking the question in the present context, but saying so may have addressed the objection that you've received.
- hackuser 10y agoFair enough. I want to find ways to address these issues and get people thinking, not flaming.
