Yeah, but i also saw nobody on the other side engage with me on this issue, so let's agree that nobody wanted to have anything to do with the others right now. I guess the keep non-free people will win, and we can resort to drop individual non-free packages as needed without needing to be loud and bureaucratic about it. > their guesses about your view will be as wrong as your frequent > guesses about theirs.

This is what i claimed about bullying tactics, and altough i don't have the irc log, i guess others have it. > Further, you seemed keen not to discuss any non-free.org because "none > official debian debianized stuff is not to be trusted"[2] which I took > to mean third-party packages.

I also believe that non-free is evil, but still maintain non-free packages, so this is no reason not to engage in a compromise discussion. But like said, insults are not part of this.
