but you quoted yourself out of context. Here's the entire sentence from your previous message:
If anyone wants to tell me about the name I use for the operating system, please do so in private mail so I can safely consign your messages to /dev/null.
That wasn't questioning our policies--it was spitting on them. Its attitude towards the FSF was hostile and bullying. That is misuse of a list meant for the FSF's friends.

Please stop misusing this list.
