You think that if I donate $100 to the Salvation Army or Amnesty International I get to choose which drunk they feed or which political prisoner they should attempt to liberate that week? I'm sure they'd listen to my preferences politely if I took the trouble to state them, but accept my donation conditionally on a specific course of action? Hardly! > And frankly, Jordan, your rudeness, hostility, and anger toward those > who don't agree with you indicates an unsuitability for the task. You're entitied to your opinion, of course, but be at least aware that any rudeness, hostility or anger you've collected so far is, in my opinion, entirely deserved. You're about the most stubbornly deluded individual I've come across in quite some time and I have no compunctions whatsoever about saying so publically. Does that make me a bad person and someone "unsuitable" to run a free software organazation or does it simply make me a guy who, once pushed past any reasonably limit, simply calls them as he sees them? I'll let you decide that because I'm going back to work now and, if you've any of your own to do, I can only suggest a similar course of action in the assumption that actual productivity is a goal we share in common.
