This sound like telling minorities to stay on their track and forget the majority of savvies and wise, if they (us, the minority) think they are on the right track. Protesting against majorities at their home usually doesn't bring anything useful to a minority. This intellectual energy can be used in much more productive ways helping Devuan rather than starting yet another endless flame in debian-user, IMHO. Being part of a minority has never bothered me. Rather the opposite. > > «Why should we make a point about freedom of choice in a camp which has > totally > forgotten what freedom of choice is» > > Exactly for that reason, because we stand for freedom of choice, they used to > and they have now have abandoned that noble cause to side with the majority > (of wrongdoers). > ...so since we think we are right and we stand for freedom, we should feel entitled to knock at their door, enter their living room, put our muddy boots on their table, and tell them "So guys, you've screwed it up completely, you know..."?!? debian-user is a mailing list of debian users. I am not a debian user any more, and I was not on that list even when I was a Debian user (and it was for about 15 years). So why on Earth should I now go there and shout loud at their faces that I think they got it all wrong? Again, to what avail?
