    So you hold that ReiserFS instantly became evil when Hans Reiser murdered his wife, even-though ReiserFS was a filesystem, developed by multiple people … too?

    Text book straw man, well done.

    As I said, a person’s work is tainted by their beliefs, or in this case actions. Reiser’s work is obviously “tainted” as you’ve mentioned it here in this context.

    Whether or not a person should continue to use the file system he developed is of course something each individual needs to weigh and decide for themselves. I note however that Reiser is not publishing essays on the art of murdering ones wife, and did not develop his filesystem with the intent of using it to host a community of murderers.

    As I also said, using the software is tacit support. It’s not possible to steal the design and reject the doctrine. If you use firefox or libreoffice you support mozilla and or the document foundation. If you drive a tesla that you bought second hand you support Elon Musk

      We fundamentally-disagree, then:

      I hold that the product isn’t currently-dependent-on the person/entity that made it.

      Argument-by-analogy isn’t straw-man, either.

          Downvote everything I say, & fewer people will see it polluting their-world, right?

          It costs you little to do it…

            Its not me downvoting you LOL.

            Ironically, the silly hand thing and the avatar likely has the opposite of the implication you’re hoping for.

            Buddhists are very particular about the use of images of buddha, and wouldnt use one as an avatar:
