How does saying, "if nothing merits prosecuting me, the ReactOS community is troubled," rise to the level of passing judgment on people? The argument is, the ReactOS community is troubled and you can clearly see this for yourself if you really want to. If we can't judge that there is discrimination, how can it ever be fought? Where in the sermon on the mount did Christ say, "don't admonish the sinner?" Christ didn't say, "you are not to determine who your enemies are," but this is exactly what you seem to be reading into that sermon. Failing to admonish the sinner, refraining from doing so when it could be effective is itself a sin of omission. Unfortunately, no one person can effectively blow the whistle on the ReactOS community. It is going to take a lot of people speaking out and maybe even the collapse of the ReactOS foundation for real change to take hold. I hope whatever it takes to bring positive change that it happens and happens soon. I haven't spammed the Freedos list. Sorry Japeth, but ReactOS is an open source project just like Freedos where ReactOS is especially relevant to anyone who wants/needs a free Windows NT clone. That both projects involve open source software, the two communities of people can be looked at comparatively and it is reasonable to say that this community is functional while the ReactOS community simply isn't. Do you not know the seriousness of threatening to prosecute someone and have them thrown in jail if they ever attempt to communicate with you again? This is the threat I received from at least one person in the ReactOS community on the forums today. Whether or not there is any weight behind the threat matters, but it is a serious matter even if the threat is weak. What kind of open source project leader/moderator threatens strangers with prosecution for trying to use the forum and/or IRC channels? Political relations wise, this is unnecessary and highly inadvisable behavior. This is the sort of behavior that makes enemies. Wonder why there is a lack of participation in the ReactOS project? Stop wondering, the answer is obvious. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
