What keeps me going is that this dialogue is permitted (and perhaps even encouraged) on this mailing list.
I don't know whether or not you (the FSF Board) sneaked in, or made lots of money, or constitute a mafia, or are really MS employees in disguise. Without more information one way or the other, I can't make any judgement on these matters. However, I can judge what I see, and I appreciate the fact that this discussion is happening on this forum, and I hope it continues to happen until matters are resolved
Totaly agree with this.
The organisers of Cochin conference have a very good opportunity here to present their side of the story as on how their choice of Novell as a sponsor is justified, why disagreement was handled with violence, and why Arun and others were treated disrespectfully. Instead what we get to see is complete ad hominem and emotional outburts against a bunch of individuals in FSF-I board, who may or may not have been right in their actions. I do not have a reason to believe that FSF-I director board is a power structure either, as accused previously -- if they are a power-abusing cabal, the existence of these threads have to have some sort of explanation which I can't figure out myself.
