"my points"

Your points? You choose a username of a deceased person to disparage them and then expect to be talked to with civility? You are an archetypal troll.

So stop feeding the troll. Downvote and/or flag and move on.

(I am suggesting this for everyone, not just you. Nothing personal. I am replying to your post because you summed the problem up so well.)

Honestly? I'm a bit speechless that someone would behave in such a manner. I do not wish to engage in a conversation with you as what you are doing simply isn't humane. Neither can I or will I speak for Mr. Swartz, as I did not have the fortune of knowing him.

You don't have any points, just bile.

I disagree. The post contradicts a lot of what we've been told were this man's accomplishments:

- He didn't found Reddit

- He didn't invent RSS

- He did more than just download too many JSTOR articles

Until I read that post, I believed all of those things, as that is what I have read so far.

Speaking ill of the dead isn't classy, but facts are sacred.
