did you believe the bs about being a marketing department for the free software movement, so as to bring corporations into our beds? the idea of setting aside and burying the things that matter the most for us to appeal to our antagonists than then took over and further corrupted your organization, to the point of turning against the movement it claimed to do marketing for?
of course these have been attacks. and that you make fun of the fundamental differences that make us not the same at all by misrepresenting them as that monty python scene? that's another attack. and that you tell me to shut up, because I'm disrupting your attempt to fool others into believing you're the poor victim of evil attacks? that's yet another attack, regardless of the euphemism you used to phrase it.
it's not cool, man. you didn't even answer my question about where you stood. why not? it's a simple question. are you really with us, or will you stop pretending that you are? it's ok if you have different goals, a different cause. no qualms about that. but pretending the differences aren't there is an attack on our identity, and denying your attacks and framing our complaints about it as an unjustified attack on you are typical gaslighting and victim-blaming of aggressors. please drop that.
