I advocate for the four freedoms. I think a large chunk of open source development and a large chunk of free software development are essentially a programmer's take on the scientific method.

However-- and bear with me here-- I don't want to be an insufferable asshole to my friends.

Finally-- and again, bear with me-- I don't want to regularly communicate with core allies who are insufferable assholes.

Where is the place for me?
