Gnome Preliminary Election Results In
makapuf writes "First results of Gnome Board elections have been issued. They include some well known gnome hackers, Miguel & others, along with Tesla Gwyne, but RMS has not been elected. Remember this is only temporary and see the results on Gnotices. You can see RMS' responses of the application form."
I'd say RMS is more of a one-legged cat trying to bury turds on a frozen lake....
Damn, I got modded up. I wouldn't have posted that anonymously if I didn't think it was an utterly useless comment.
More beer.

RMS: Richard M Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, and other Good Things(tm)
Though you didn't, just think of how much you could've wanted to kick yourself if you got modded down for commenting on getting modded up. :)

Well, that about covers it...

Oh no? What about an extreme stance on, say, opposition to slavery? Or sanctity of life? Or right to trial by jury?
And isn't 'never good' an extremist stance?
Has anyone else noticed that all anyone needs to do to get karma nowadays is one of:
+ Say how linux isn't all that great after all
+ Say how perhaps Microsoft aren't so bad
+ Criticise RMS, the more vehemently and ignorantly the better
+ Criticise ESR's state of mind.
It also helps if you do this right under the main story instead of as part of an intelligent discussion.
You are almost guaranteed several Insightfuls and Interestings, at least enough to offset the more accurate Overrated and Flamebait.
I'm fed up with it, anyone else?
Yours Sincerely, Michael.
