Daniel Stone, the administrator of freedesk.org, has just taken it upon himself to censor my article on the state of the X server. His lame excuse is that I have stopped working the core of Xegl. It doesn't seem to matter that I contributed 1,000s of lines of code to fd.o that I am continuing to do maintenance on. So much for this being a free desktop. Can some else provide a place for me to host the article?
