[lug] FSF plans Apple Genuis Bar "denial of service"

[Nate Duehr]

I just said it was sick and wrong, you're the one who replied with a  
trite personal attack.

Since you act like you wanted more than that (I was too "trite"):

I could expound on how stupid attacking customer support staff and  
customers is, of a company that has both DRM-ed and non-DRM-ed  
versions of their products already, WHEN THE CONTENT PROVIDERS ALLOW  
THEM TO.  (The problem is at the content providers.)

FSF fighting the "good fight" in the courts with content providers is  
fine with me.  In fact, I've supported them for years including  
donations.

Them pissing all over normal folks in a publicity stunt designed to  
make it impossible for those folks to get basic help with their  
computers?  No.  That's anti-social, perhaps even mentally-unstable  
behavior.  Thus, wait for it... wait...

SICK AND WRONG.

I didn't say it, because I thought you could get there on your own,  
but I guess you couldn't.

They're out of their freakin' minds if they think this stunt is what  
adults do to solve problems.  When they fought in court for things,  
and followed the rules of society -- they did well.  Now they want to  
fight via media/press stunts?

I get enough of that crap from political parties already, thanks.

They apparently decided to give up the high ground and attack people  
not even part of their battle now.

Better?  Less "trite"?  Don't get it?  Not my problem.

Have a wonderful evening.

Nate
