See below: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Bimmler <mbimm...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 1:49 PM Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Re-licensing To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org> Please Stop It. This thread used to be on the "Re-licensing" issue, which is an issue many people are interested it. Thus, you can't even bring up the usual "Well, it's off-topic, but everyone can filter it out of their inbox by a subject-filter" counter-argument, because many people actually *do* care about the Re-licensing and do not intend at all to filter it out of their inbox. What has happened, though, is that the thread has first been hijacked by a discussion about "moral rights" and other legal and philosophical concepts (which I myself found at least interesting, if completely off-topic) and now, it has gone down to a rather pathetic "I have studied philosophy, you have no clue." "I don't need to have studied philosophy to have a clue." "I have studied Mathematics and you are a bad philosopher" type of chat, which is an absolute no-go. Really, take it offlist. I hope I don't need to enforce this plea because I'm not actually in the mood to do so.
