The positive approach to FLISOL

[Dokuro]

I think that is true, you do feel very bad if you are trying to do
something good and then some one trashes on you for some other thing,
it could really turn you down....
This approach would be a better way to deal with people, because we as
free software spokesmen (persons) should be nicer to the people that
is helping us, no matter what, we have to be the nice option vs
private software.

the problem here is that we might also feel like nice is not going to
get us anywhere, it is hard to make that choice, when to be hard or
when to be nice, the proposal is to be nice the most you can, in order
to advance to a solution.
