I'm OK with adding the other guy, but I've got to pass on Xah. He's a consummate troll. |

Ah, Ok... I didn't knew - maybe it's better to add corresponding comment to config file? ;-) |

Could you merge these additions? |

I am surprised that a website such as http://www.ergoemacs.org is excluded from the list of "people who live in Emacs" based on the single biased discrimination of Xah Leeh by owner of the project. I would not be this much biased. I would look at results, as http://www.ergoemacs.org is rich website with usable practical resources for every Emacs user. This speaks more about you then about Xah Leeh. Sure you are the owner of your project and have decision powers, That does not make it right to call people names. And it does not make the website http://www.ergoemacs.org less valuable in terms of education. Tell what you want, think what you want, I find that discriminatory and improper. |

Hi,
I might not be up to date with all about what Xah is doing nowadays, but
from the little I have seen via his YouTube videos and his site, he is
contributing a lot to the community. I know that Xah was indeed a trollish
person at one time, and he still has strong opinions, but I would give him
the benefit of the doubt here and see how things evolve.
My two cents...

GNU Emacs is GNU project, and there are GNU Kind Communication Guidelines which in the sense are basic good behavior guidelines. I think that Xah Leh is discriminated for his political views. Calling people names like "consummate troll" is in my opinion too harsh, judgmental, and general. It also represents defamation, without any reason. @hober probably does not administer particular network, neither Xah Lee did anything wrong on Planet Emacs, that I can see or observe. While I don't like many views of Xah Lee, I enjoy reading his mind in his text. He is one of major propagandists for GNU Emacs. He is thinking. He has wrote thousands of articles which gives to thinking and which are to "awake" the average user. He is teacher who does not ask much for his work. And what about the freedom of speech? Would you ask for freedom of speech if your blog would be "blocked" on third party website? And now when you are "in charge" of a project on Github, you act in totalitarian defamatory manner. In fact, if I would be making that decision, I would just say "Editor's Choice", but would not call people names. |
