Re: [trinity-devel] Appeal for freedom of speech

And as an addendum I should probably post the reason that he was even temporarily removed. Remember that these lists are public and archived, and also that sometimes people read the lists (e.g. via Google) before deciding to use a project. That means that if we do not deal with baseless accusations against the project they WILL pile up and cause us to lose users, developers, and over time may accumulate enough to kill the project entirely. On the other hand, if our developers spend all of their time debunking said accusations properly, rationally, and logically, there will be no time left to fix bugs and improve the project, thus killing it from another angle. My gut instinct was to remove the source of the baseless accusations. As that is not an option at this point, we will need to set up a triage system for dealing with such things. I cannot handle it alone; just dealing with this and debunking the binary compatibility "problem" has sucked up a lot of time that should have been spent on the move to GIT. Be aware that while I will not be "censoring" the list, just ignoring baseless criticism does NOT mean it just goes away. In fact, many people will read the criticism and take our silence as confirmation that it is correct. Tim
