    Obviously, because using their software is tacit or implied support for that person.

    How many millions of people would say they “support” mozilla when really the only support they provide is using the free software.

    A person’s work is quite obviously tainted by their beliefs.

      In the minds of the politically-motivated, maybe.

      Not all minds are politically-motivated.

      The blunt fact that people are multidimensional, & some are high-integrity-in-work while being low-integrity-in-business, or are excellent-woodworkers-while-being-family-abusers … what a person is in 1 dimension oft has nothing to do with what they are in another.

      Ideologues who insist otherwise are living within their ideology, not within actuality.

      Spiders may creep many out, while their silk is one of the most astonishingly-awesome materials known.

      their silk doesn’t itself creep people out…

      but maybe ideologues hold that it has to be creepy because to them spiders themselves are creepy…

      Cult-“thinking”.

          This is a wild-ass guess, as I’m no religious scholar, but Paragone’s profile pic appears to be a statue of The Buddha, the emoji may represent the way Buddhists hold their hands together when bowing.

            Ah yes, I forgot the strict Buddhist teaching that when using social media, enlightenment is only achieved by writing with many unnecessary line breaks, rambling, and emoji sign offs. Buddha really knew how to fire off a mean tweet and led by example for us all to follow. Thank you for reminding me.
