I'm so sad right now.
anti-trump opinions, on his tax evasion, on his vote disenfranchisement plansThe fact that you don't like which of Stallman's opinions are posted here, and that you ignore those items which do not fit your enumeration, has no bearing on Stallman's opinions on various topics belonging in the 'Poor Stallman' thread. As for your transparent goalpost translation from what belongs in this thread to where this thread belongs, if you have any arguments on why a generic Stallman thread, or Linus thread or Bellard thread or GJS thread, does not belong in /prog/ after being an established thread for over six months >>220,221 and two hundred posts, you are welcome to present them. So far you have not presented any. All you've done is rail against a subset of posts that you want to downvote.
And it's come to the point where it's just you bumping this thread and another guy saying "stallman pedo" to counter you.The fact that /pol/cels are incapable of anything more than ad hominem fantasy projections, having no answer of substance to his stances, reflects on the /pol/cels, not on this thread.
could have done better, keeping it more stallman and programming relatedInstead of complaining that the thread does not fit your taste, contribute the kind of on-topic material you want to see posted.
while a trump-focused thread could have made it on /lounge/Arguing against your select subset of posts that you wish you could downvote, ignoring its complement, is not arguing against the thread, it's just burning strawmen.
anti-trumpAll of the posts you are referring to are criticizing specific actions or stances of Trump, actions or stances that would also be criticized in any other public figure, and not the person divorced from those specific actions or stances, so "anti-trump" is another misrepresentation. Rms agreed with Trump on his TPP withdrawal, for example, and calls it Treacherous Plutocratic Poison.
*Pro-democracy advocates are organizing more than 170 events [on Nov 4] in anticipation of President Donald Trump illegitimately declaring victory in the Nov. 3 election.* That's a good idea, but they have messed up the web site where they publish the details: it depends on nonfree Javascript code, and it is totally inaccessible in the Free World. I can't see even one word of the contents of their site, only a message saying "Enable Javascript." No way! It is a shame that I can't (without sacrificing my freedom and principles) find an event near me, and neither can you, nor can I in good conscience post an urgent note asking everyone to look at the site and find an event to join. This time, we have considerable notice — 18 days to go before Nov 4. Maybe this is enough time to correct the deficiency, rather than merely bemoan it. If you are a skilled web developer, and you have a web site where you can make a page without Javascript, and run an hourly cron job on the net, please try it. See if you can scrape the data from their site and make a simple HTML file listing all the events, sorted in some natural way. Put that that page on your site, with a brief introduction saying what these events are for. Then please email me about it, and I will post a reference to your curved mirror. -- https://protecttheresults.com/
