Well, when it comes to poverty, I will not choose the definition that means
least work. In this country at least, it is generally defined in terms of
average resources.
again I said I agree with your ideals. But your absolutism is silly
We are talking about a luxury here.
What you consider to be silly is irrelevant to my argument. In fact, your
statement is an ad hominem attack, and therefore a fallacy. If you do not
like my argument, you can disprove it, or ignore it and go about your day. I
simply made a comment, with the original poster of this thread can take on
board or forget too. But your personal dislike of what I have said has
nothing to do with this.
A printed copy and advanced viewing.
You are only speculating that that time period is unreasonable for the
content.
No, if you read my post again, you will find that I have said something quite
different.
I guess I am in the open and free as in freedom camp and not
the free as in beer camp.
As am I.
Are you against all pay for service business
models that leverage Free as in Freedom intellectual property?
No, and I have already said so on this very topic.
I did not attack your logic before, but now I will.
But I won't go beyond saying that you are illogical because I'm bored
with this now.
I am sorry for making an "ad hominem" attack as I was merely looking for
intellectual discussion.
I don't have the energy to "disprove" your argument but I am satisfied
that I have made arguments that do threaten your stance.
I don't need to read your post again to know that you are speculating
about whether 6 weeks is too long for the given content. I am pretty
sure you have not reviewed the content. I'm not saying I have.
I think you misunderstood my comment.
I went back and read your prior posts.
Your original objection was purely conjectural. I don't think you can
argue otherwise.
I wish you would address my charge of absolutism and defend your stance
that this is not an appropriate exception to our commonly held ideals.
Hal's post came in while I was writing this.
Well said Hal.
Lee what is the problem with six weeks?
Do you really think that, as in your first post,
" withholding that information might put free software
projects/communities at risk, if it's something to do with the
proprietary world's aggressive actions, for example." this magazine
would be the only source that would have such information?
This is why I think you are being silly.
I use that word again only for consistency, and apologize for using it
initially as I see you are sensitive to it.
Cordially,
MZD
