In this archive I express the opinion that just because somebody died, that does not permit random developers to go around making statements on behalf of other developers. Not even "person X is sorry for your loss". Not without the permission of person X. If making a stand for simple integrity is so terrible, then colour me terrible. I do not see what is so bad about objecting to people making statements, on behalf of other people, without their permission. [Obviously I can't repost or significantly report on all the stuff people said to villify me and misrepresent my position as being anything other than the above, but it's not relevant anyway] I fail to see how expressing a simple opinion like that, which is not even an uncommon one, *on a private mailing list*, could possibly be 'detrimental to the project'. That is pure slander. > If you do reply, please do so in -private. If you do reply, please do so in public. I will not stand for any more of this hiding behind unverifiable statements. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
