Re: Proposal: DNS change irc.gnome.org becomes A record and irc.gimpnet.org starts getting phased out.

I sent a message to point out the error of associating GNOME with the
term "open source":

======================================================================
    As an accessibility user, and noting that GNOME is known for being a
    world leader in open source accessibility

I hope not!  GNOME is meant to be a leader in free software
accessibility, and we hope people will think of it as one.  If they
think of GNOME as "open source", we need to set them straight!
======================================================================

This is not about the word "gimp".  It is about a different issue.

It is not surprising that Schlesinger pretends it was a statement
about the word "gimp", because he regularly distorts what I say.

However, I see that Michael Hill also interpreted this as if the point
were about the word "gimp".  Why was that?
