[04:04] schestowitz__[TR] Thanks for the correction.

[04:29] schestowitz__[TR] >> I don't have any contacts of relevance, but I can imagine they're aware

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > You mean the suggestion that Frans was mentally ill or people suggesting

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > My contention is that Frans was worked to death.

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > Medicine and law recognize a strong distinction between mental illness

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > In the latter case, the death is much more like a case of workplace

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] >> I know those tactics. I've done Techrights since I was 24. How do you

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] >> think Novell staff tried to discredit "Boycott Novell"? Threats,

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] >> name-calling, etc. Social control media is the worst in the regards.

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] >> Stay away from those corporate bee hives.

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] >> As for LWN, Corbet is in 'Linux' Foundation and he's between some rock

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > in Debian is a bit unstable.

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] There was a misunderstanding. I said mental illness" because I saw that smear used against the debian.community site, not people whom it wrote about (at least one does have mental issues, being bipolar by one's own admission).

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > It is the same with the Albanian girls in Mexico. The pictures would be

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > great clickbait but my only interest is in showing them men who bought

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > their tickets and maybe the more qualified women who missed out.

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] The use of the word "traffic" is not helpful and can be demeaning to the girls who unwittingly participated or went along.
