Whilst you guys appear to be frustrated about the number of posts about RMS's ftp, I can't say that I find it annoying or offensive.
Speak for yourself. He's an annoying git.
Matt, what I will say is that I do find your attitude towards RMS and the posts you make with reference to it offensive in the extreme. There is no reason to be offensive and use the expletives you do about this.
Sure there is. 1) He uses that language (and worse) himself in his off-list abusive posts to anyone who says anything about him that isn't kissing his ass. 2) He doesn't respond to being nice. Believe me, *many* people have tried to nicely ask him to change his ways; he's either ignored it, or responded with abuse.
With regards to the technical setup of his FTP, I am sure there are technical reasons why he has his ftp setup the way he does and you are not necessarily in a position to judge him for that. Why are you attempting to run a hate campaign towards a person on the net.
He's an annoying git, and has been for a number of years. He only goes away when firmly and repeatedly told to STFU. He doesn't understand mailing list etiquette, and seems to be under the impression that we all owe him obeisance for "running" his shitty little ftp. And announcing it ad nauseous. The KLF list is nearly 20% RMS going on repetitively about his amazing ftp site; excuse the hell out of those of us who don't want this list to go down that path. However, at least we don't get the regular wildly off-topic "I'm too dim to properly work my computer myself, please help me" cries for attention that he blesses the KLF list with.
What I will say is that whilst the Internet grants us all freedoms, we have a moral obligation to use that sensibly. You do not appear to be treating this freedom of speech with the correct amount of respect. If you want to have a flame war with someone, TAKE IT OFF THE LIST!
Why? As long as RMS spams and abuses this list, why can't we talk about that?
PLEASE STOP POSTING SUCH AGGRESSIVE LANGUAGE! I would like to read some if this at work but am unable to take the risk because of your behaviour and language.
Uhhh, and the fact that you are at *work*. If you can't take the heat, don't come in the kitchen. It's not anyone else's responsibility to change their behaviour because you want to read this list at work.
