[Cialug] Promotion and Faith. (Was RE: A little something for everyone)

[Tim Wilson]

I debated whether I should post this or not, but, since there is already a
firestorm going....

I think it needs to be re-read.  At no point does he say "hire", he says
"partner".  If company A wishes to partner with company B, they can exchange
work.  And I don't think the IRS can dictate what companies a company can
partner with.

I'm appalled at the reaction this has drawn.  I've seen other topics that
this list has discussed that are WAY off topic (I've seen people bashing
certain political parties, tell me, how does that fit with a list such as
this?).  This at least was looking for someone to develop software. I'm sure
Brian meant no offense, but some of the comments that have followed (up to
and including calling him a troll) ARE very offensive.
