    Moderator abuse galore... How the hell is this offtopic?

    Anyway, it seems to me it's the same thing as Gates not giving a speech at a hypothetical internet user group, because it's not called MS-Internet.
    (Hey, IE is the predominant tool for accessing the internet, so he could claim that "by convention", whatever that means, it should be MS-Internet)

    Stallman is doing more damage than good with this pathetic ego trip of his.

    Sorry to drag MS into this flaimbait-ridden discussion, but it was the first example that sprang to mind.

  2. RMS Contradicts Himself by idonotexist · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Throughout the article, though he at times (mainly at the beginning of the article) uses GNU/Linux, RMS refers to GNU/Linux as Linux on numerous occassions.

    How can we consider his argument if he, himself, does not actively practice what he preaches?
