Is Roy Schestowitz a wannabe Taliban Member?

"Roy Schestowitz has taken extreme umbrage at being compared to the Taliban
recently, and attempts to equivalence this with being called a "Nazi" or a
"terrorist". While it's understandable that Schestowitz would find the
comparison quite uncomfortable, there seem to be some clear points of
comparison:

* The Taliban is a gang of moralistic thugs, attempting to tell the
people of Afghanistan how to conduct their lives
* The "Boycott Novell gang is likewise a bunch of moralistic thugs,
attempting to tell the people of the open source community how to conduct
their lives
* The Taliban's demands are driven by their sense of religion, and are
out of step with the aspirations and goals of the majority of the Afghan
people.
* The "Boycott Novell" cabal is driven by a similar sense of "religion"
(in this case, the FSF-approved "free the way we tell you" approach) and are
equally out of step with the aspirations and goals of the majority of the
free software developer and user communities
* The Taliban is driven by an ironclad sense of their own certain
rectitude, emboldened by the words of their prophet, Mohammed
* The "Boycott Novell" gang is similarly driven by an ironclad sense of
their own certain rectitude, emboldened by the words of their prophet,
Richard Stallman
* The Taliban identifies those who disagree with them as "enemies" and
attempts to destroy them or drive them out
* The "Boycott Novell" regime identifies those who disagree with them as
"traitors", "enemies" and "shills" and attempts to destroy their reputations
or have them removed from their jobs

The list could go on and on. The reason that there's a "Godwin's Law" is not
because it's always wrong to compare someone to a Nazi, but because it's too
easy and broad-reaching to do so in the vast majority of cases. That doesn't
happen to be the situation here: as shown, the comparison is really rather
apt.

Just as the Taliban wants to turn Afghanistan into a religiously-orthodox,
monoculture society, the "Boycott Novell" gang want to turn the open source
community into an orthodox monoculture where all will run approved versions
of "free software" and nothing but.""

""Great article, and Roy Shestowitz has his panties in a big know about this
article, I guess you hit a nerve.

Roy is all up in arms, by your reference, but yet he's still happy to follow
RMS in claiming Mono developers are "traitors", and he's certainly willing
to hurl his own brand of hate speech and bitter bile at anyone who he does
not agree with.

Boycottnovell, (sure they use Linux that is full of Novell code), is all
upset by this post, so that tells me you are SPOT ON with your analysis.

Keep up the good work in exposing these crackpots, these Free software
terrorists.

Well done,, and hopefully Roy the boycottboy will take notice, but I doubt
it. He's too busy living in his closed little world of hate.""

""DonArguss says:

Ahh oiaohm, you are acting as Roy's guard dog as usual I see, good work,
what's Roy's problem? is he scared (as usual) to stand up for himself.

Let me guess, Goblin will be next to try to spin this.

Trouble is it's impossible to defend the indefensible..

You oiaohm, and Roy and all the other BN TROLLS should just keep to your own
little world of hate and/or quietly GO AWAY, AND DONT COME BACK.

You are doing more damage to FOSS that Microsoft could ever do, so if you
want to destroy something that can be good and really FREE keep going..

The real FOSS community think of you for just what you are, FOSS terrorists.

Tried to get anyone fired recently ??? im sure you have.. pathetic..
extreemism.

Interesting read to see just what Roy does to propagate his hate, and to
feed his trolls.""
