[Opensim-dev] Opinion vs Misinformation. (Was: Harvesting code from forks of Opensim)

[Shaun T. Erickson]

Misinformation: "False or inaccurate information, especially that which 
is deliberately intended to deceive."
Opinion: "In general, an opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement 
about matters commonly considered to be subjective."

Clearly, Mike stated an opinion, to which he is entitled. Whether the 
sharing of opinions in the dev channel is something you want, is one 
thing, but I'd caution against stifling comments merely because they 
might be perceived as unpleasant, as that can have a chilling effect, 
but at least accuse him of what he did, not what he didn't.
