To quote you;
>>> It was only because this guy had academic and tech industry protectors who backed their precious manbaby that JSTOR and MIT were reluctant to pursue the issue themselves. <<<
I would argue that you are not a critic as the above statement is not a reasoned stance or observation; it is vitriol.
Giving respect to someone's life irrespective of the differences you may have had is not about right or wrong. No, it's more basic than that; it's about compassion.
- asswartz 14y agoDo you actually have anything that actually addresses my points?
- jacquesm 14y agoYou don't have any points, just bile.
- nailer 14y agoI disagree. The post contradicts a lot of what we've been told were this man's accomplishments: - He didn't found Reddit - He didn't invent RSS - He did more than just download too many JSTOR articles Until I read that post, I believed all of those things, as that is what I have read so far. Speaking ill of the dead isn't classy, but facts are sacred.
- todayiamme 14y agoHonestly? I'm a bit speechless that someone would behave in such a manner. I do not wish to engage in a conversation with you as what you are doing simply isn't humane. Neither can I or will I speak for Mr. Swartz, as I did not have the fortune of knowing him.
- panacea 14y ago"my points" Your points? You choose a username of a deceased person to disparage them and then expect to be talked to with civility? You are an archetypal troll.
- Mz 14y agoSo stop feeding the troll. Downvote and/or flag and move on. (I am suggesting this for everyone, not just you. Nothing personal. I am replying to your post because you summed the problem up so well.)
