When Stallman is Attacked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the problem-with-zealots dept.

writes "Linux Tech Daily has an editorial slamming a recent Forbes.com attack piece on Richard Stallman and GPLv3. Loved or hated, do you agree with the author that the piece is FUD and completely unprofessional? Love him or hate him, is this unfair treatment of rms? Does he leave himself open to these kinds of attacks with his behavior?" The problem with the editorial of course is that many of the points made in the original Forbes piece are completely valid and true. So basically you get to choose between the linux zealot, and a writer who is obviously fairly hostile towards Stallman's ideas.

    It is interesting to see the same post of yours a few days ago got +2 insightful... let's see what your new "mod me down" line will do for you.

    Seriously, I don't understand why people copy & paste his own comments. Karma whoring? Or you just hate RMS so much you want the world to know how "irrelevant" he is? Apparently he's still very relevant in your world...

    I hear this alot. I have never met Stallman but could somebody who has met him confirm or deny that he does not shower on a regular basis and smells.

    Thanks.

    It's Linux, damnit! Pay no attention to renaming attempts by self-aggrandizing blowhards.
