Candidacy FSFE Fellowship Representative

[Joe Awni]

As candidate, i would aggressively pursue FOSS goals.

I don't think its right to sweep the emotionally charged issues under the
rug like a piece of dust, and i did not criticize forks.

As poster and correspondent, i will never attempt to use dehumanizing
epithets such as "troll" on coders or non-coders.
This process of dehumanization is not welcome in the FOSS community.

Further, you inability to make specific points, instead relying on ad
hominem attacks means i dont even want to engage with you.
