Eric, stop using our list to organize projects that go against our

against supporting disabled users as #1 priority in accessibility project.
has policy that puts accessibility director in harm's way by precluding the use
non-free accessibility software even if there is no alternative (may put fsf in
legal jeopardy re: ADA reasonable accommodation)
if you read the message, I wanted a place to discuss alternative approaches with
out your heavy boot coming down on that. I was doing you a favor by trying to
remove the topic from the list. the other list was a bunch of people with
decades of experience with speech. not FSF limited but good people overall.
again, was doing you a favor of getting rid of the troublemakers
Please listen to what I say. I am not against your principals of software must
be free. From a mindful choice and a desire to live right work and right life I
place resolving human suffering at a higher level than freeing software. All
the software I create will be free software, I promise you that because that is
the only way to keep accessibility in our control.
I have been invited to work with another group and if people want my help,
they will be able to find me. I will not reject them if they really want to
help or learn. I know others on the list support my stand. I hope their silent
support will become visible as a simple yea/nea and then they can help me with
simple tasks you do not want talked about. I fear you have created a "chilling
effect" by how you deal with dissent they fear ostracism.
I am not your enemy but you are making it hard to be your supporter.
