</div>you know, there IS a logical falacy of guilt by association. before you<br>
oycot the FSF and the registration office that handled their NGO<br>
registration, and the entire govenrment of the country that enploys that<br>
registration clerk, and so on, I suggest we stop and call on the FSF<br>
spokespeople to give their opinion on the matter and maybe resolve it<br>
otherwise.<br>
<br>
two sideline remarks:<br>
1. As I mentioned in my blog post, I don't see the financial boycott as<br>
a problem, and I'm even hoping it started moving something, but I have a<br>
real problem with justifying the academic BDS. however after I saw this<br>
Item, I wonder what will I do if more and more Universities ד‚?ere proven<br>
to act the same:<br>
