against free speech.
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.
