Ideological differences when representing Ubuntu in events.

[Santiago Zarate]

I dont want to flame... but sometimes, the problem becomes bigger when
you actually *see* R.M.S. doing this. Then you see the followers, who
only (and mostly) use nonsensical arguments. :/

You can come up with few good facts about why ubuntu is the way it is,
or how things work, and/or tell them how to use only free (As in free
of speech) software and ubuntu at the same time. Yet, you have to face
the problem "XXX said it is bad".

So far to deal with this kind of people i just either walk away or
only tell few things (Facts about the goods of ubuntu and drive the
conversation to a point where the limitations of being
all-open-or-nothing becomes very common... Thanks to ghandi[1])
