     @davidross I totally *accept* people who tend to be subject to bigotry. I tolerate bigots (in that I don't support criminalizing ignorance).

     @strypey Indeed, you seen to be right. I talked with some people around #FreeSoftware / #LibreSoftware / #FreeSw / #FLOSS circles, particularly direct contributors to #FSD / #FreeSoftwareDirectory,, and most software freedom problems with #Firefox and co. still exist. #Mozilla #Thunderbird being an exception.
