why is it that the people who cite the first amendment the most frequently also always have the dumbest, most facile understanding of its function you'd think they'd be experts in first amendment case theory considering how much they talk about it!! like that professor i mentioned earlier who thinks it says "i can interrupt you whenever i like, and you aren't allowed to get angry or talk back over me and you have to listen to what i have to say"

BobHoward posted:i missed this background to the Linus thing, got any pointers to more? i didn’t pay much attention, thought that maybe he finally noticed how toxic he was on his own Linus was his usual dickhead self. some women complained that his attitude is keeping women out of being able to contribute to Linux and it picked up some steam in the media. then Linus announced he was taking time off to reevaluate his actions or some such. what really happened is the companies that were paying his salary told him that this is a pr problem for them and he needs to change his behavior.

quote:Stallman said “it is morally absurd to define ‘rape’ in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17.” I mean you could.. define it by the actual raping. Just saying.

a few times now i've related the anecdote my photojournalist friend told me about taking pictures of celebrities -- you keep the good ones, of course, but you also keep the bad ones where they look particularly angry or stupid or gruesome just in case there's a scandal and you need the article to have the right mood. anyway, here's what the washington post is running

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:while linus is abrasive sometimes i don't remember him being exclusionary or bigoted it's often been a lot more than abrasive though, it's been outright abuse and telling people to kill themselves. i'm not sure that being a total dickhead to everyone, including women, because of poor social skills or ego is any better than specifically targeting them because of a sexist attitude.

quote:Its difficult to describe to a young person -- say, someone under 40 -- how social attitudes have shifted in recent decades. One of the more noticeable changes is the way that progressiveness and tolerance have been hijacked by reaction and intolerance and a mob mentality that's better suited to the Salem witch trials or a Streicher courtroom. I can see why someone like Stallman just doesn't want to play any more -- I'm similar in age and this kind of sophomoric mob mentality is just wearing in the extreme.

The Management posted:what really happened is the companies that were paying [Linus's] salary told him that this is a pr problem for them and he needs to change his behavior. There's two thousand posts on Orange Site arguing over how RMS's comments weren't beyond the pale and don't justify his dismissal, but anybody in RMS's position has a duty to his organization, duty to his backers, a duty to his mission. It's not cut and dried and a lot of it subject to the politics of the organization. Nicholas Negroponte was embarrassed, Joichi Ito resigned, Minsky's memory was tarnished. And RMS, overstaying his welcome by a decade, just blundered straight into that minefield like this was a tiff between emacs maintainers. It's like no one commenting on HN has been ANYWHERE
