schestowitz__I see this too, with RMS in particular singled out for ridicule and personal attacks. I admire Stallman. He is consistent and thoughtful, and it seems people forget how often he has been right. His mission has always been to further user freedom and rights-- what's not to like about that? He is right about Android, just like he was right about Tivoization, DRM and the loss of our rights with music, movies, books, and other Apr 25 13:24
schestowitz__creative media, software as a service as a GPL dodge, privacy issues, corporate control, and on and on. The statement that makes me saddest, that we hear all the time, is "people just want stuff that works and they don't care about all this freedom and privacy stuff." That is so not true. A lot of people care about those things, and it's silly to use that as a criticism of Stallman and the FSF.Apr 25 13:24
schestowitz__Yes RMS has his flaws, and he's not always right. Whaddaya know, that's true of everyone.Apr 25 13:24

schestowitz__Yes, I was trying to find something about attacks on him, without trial of due process, but it's only very remotely relatedApr 25 14:50
Techrights-secI presume it would be part of the reasons for the attacks, but the main Apr 25 15:09
Techrights-secreason would be (IMO) his frequent use of the F-word,Apr 25 15:09
schestowitz__MinceR: he does stick to his spiel and "his guns"... and they cannot make him buckle, unlike others at the FSFApr 25 15:10
schestowitz__I think that an internalised/veiled worry of theirs is that he'll make "copies of himself" and the ideas will spread like a virus unlike they demonise him as if he was eating babiesApr 25 15:11
schestowitz__very similar to what they did to wikileaks staff for that matter, the radical transparency approach wherein you publish without prior permission from the governmentApr 25 15:12
