He discussed his preferences on copyright. It’s projecting a weird kind of parasocial hero worship to assume I meant otherwise despite my not giving you a single shred of evidence on my opinion of him. I actually detest your little edit because you’ve charged my opinion and put me on a defensive footing regarding my opinion of somebody who I honestly couldn’t care less about (sorry; wasn’t my scene). I worked very hard to avoid saying that because I know he’s loved and my opinion doesn’t matter. But you had to make me say it. I’ve not written a single line of Ruby in my life and even I know his thoughts on copyright and public domain and intellectual property, is the point. I actually hate how many people worship him like he’s Jesus because the content is more interesting than the person, which is the case for pretty much anyone creative and has nothing to do with him. (Something tells me he’d vibe on that take, too, given how he left.)

They are also doing this to Dan Price, an alleged sexual predator and rapist. he was famous for the $70,000 / year minimum salary policy. It's bizarre to see this much idolization and moral policing online. And back to the parent's comment and others regurgitating the same circular logic: We know its not public domain on legal term but we are saying it might as well be because of the irreversible nature of making any content publicly available on the internet which more or less is identical to putting your content in public domain. I suspect a lot of this rigid thinking and hyper sensitivity to word is spectrum behavior and I am already seeing several people. This is like people arguing people who pirate should be put in prison. I wonder what type of world they live in to be this rigid and black & white thinking. Must be quite isolating
