> Edit: in my defence, is op defending Stallman, or Epstein? Honestly, I don't know how Epstein and Stallman are related. I don't follow Stallman's every statement he makes. I simply asked for some context and enlightenment in this headline and op's comment.
Am I the OP in this context?
I think this is exactly what I'm talking about? I've made a comment explaining how this environment baffles me, and you think my comment must be somehow tribal in nature.
- teh_klev 7y ago> and you think my comment must be somehow tribal in nature. Tribal in what way? And I said nothing of the sort. I have no "tribal" interest in Stallman's efforts or his beliefs. I think the man has done some fine things in terms of GPLv2, less so v3, but I'm certainly not an absolutist. I genuinely didn't understand your comment, which you still haven't answered, yet you attack me for being "tribal".
- esotericn 7y agoWell, you asked whether I'm defending Stallman or Epstein. The answer is, err, "not applicable"?
- teh_klev 7y agoThen your comment is a non-sequitur, and you seem unwilling to defend or explain it (either way). edit: ok, so now I have some context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20990293 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20990293 https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6405929-09132019142056-0001.html https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6405929-091320191420... Which after all this was what I was asking for. Jeezo.
