The time when ESR was a universally accepted member of it, given he literally invented the term. The time when he was a leader of it for many years. All time right up until a couple of years ago when entryists performed a hostile takeover to impose their niche Silicon Valley political views on everyone else.


IOW, you can't demonstrate the open source community being tolerant of bigotry? Got it. ESR ran his mouth and "suffered" the consequences. Fuck around and find out as the kids say. There was no so-called "hostile takeover" nor imposition of "niche Silicon Valley political views".

As I already explained, the topic of this thread is not bigotry, but something that you, unilaterally, have labelled 'bigotry'. Those are different things.

Wow you seem such a nice and tolerant person. (inb4 you bring up the 'paradox of tolerance' in a way that demonstrates you didn't understand it at all)

>There was no so-called "hostile takeover" nor imposition of "niche Silicon Valley political views".

... he says, immediately after saying that someone was essentially blacklisted (oh no, I said one of the bad words! BLOCKLISTED, not blacklisted, SORRY FOR MY RACISM!!!!) for having a right-of-centre political opinion.
