Stallman Clarifies Position RE:Gnome & .Net

Posted by Hemos on from the making-things-clear dept.

RMS ? has sent The Register an email in which he corrects their 'inaccurate' representation of his stance on the GNOME & .NET issue. He states, "I am pretty sure something was garbled in the quotation which has me asking Miguel to 'explain himself to us', because those words would be explicitly confrontational, and I did not have any wish to do that."

    "...those words would be explicitly confrontational, and I did not have any wish to do that."

    right... rms has never been known to be confrontational. ;)

    ok, I'm offtopic...

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think root-mean-square every time you see "RMS?" I really hope not.

    how'd he get that nickname "RMS?" (yes, I know that's his initials you twit, but no one calls me NAP)

    What's next? A loss of that sexy beard?

    Never mock a man's hirsute appendage. It isn't "Insightful," it isn't clever, but it does reveal one of two things:

    1. You weren't mocking; you really do find RMS's beard arousing, but were disguising this truth, even from yourself, behind sarcasm.

    2. You judge people based on faulty criteria.

    Which is it?
