As the resident commissar, I need to review your case. We clearly can not allow anyone to deviate from the mandate of Chairman Richard and all opposition and mention of free software must be cleansed. As part of The Great Cultural Revolution of Free Software, anyone that does not follow the directives of the Benevolent, the Merciful Supreme Chairman of the Free Software Cultural Revolution, must be tried by a jury of peers that have been ethically vouched for by the Supreme and Merciful. You do not deserve to blog, to write or express any new opinions until you have been properly re-programmed by the teachers of the Benevolent, the Merciful, the Supreme Leader of the Free Software Revolution.
