that rather expresses the unity of humanity than a separation in nous et<br>

Keep in mind that our software is Free to be used for Good and Bad, in<br>
Peace and War, to start conflicts and end them, and by either side in<br>
any conflict.<br>

</span>You should expect LGM to be judged by the standards you set on the<br>
website - for example when accepting or rejecting talks based on their<br>
content. I'm not saying that you can't have double standards or that<br>
these would be - using the "Je suis Charlie" image is hardly the same as<br>
publishing one of their caricatures, either - but there should be a<br>
prepared an coherent reaction when people try to blame LGM for them.<br>
<br>
Personal opinion: it would be an important sign, and I hope that our<br>
efforts improve this world, as little effect as this might be.<br>
