Richard Stallman - have I dug myself a hole here...

How can you take a man of his age seriously that has a beard and long hair? What a complete know-nothing hippy twat.

He might very well be a fruitloop, but at least he's not a hypocrite.
Best wishes, Hans

Except for the fact that he charges for his speeches. He compares software to "free speech", so he's being a bit hypocritical there.

Well the 90s called, and they want their Stallman back.

It could only get worse if part of his 'hairstyle' was a comb over. I simply can't take someone like that seriously since they plainly don't take themselves seriously.

If we all follow his agenda, we better get use to saying "Would you like Fries with your Red Hat update?" :sigh:

Well to him, the entire fact that you earn money doing this means you are a money grubbing capitalist pig.
ragnaroknrol: Yes, but comparing a rabid wolverine gnawing on your face while stabbing you with a fountain pen to Vista is likely to make the wolverine look good, so it isn't exactly that big of a compliment.

Now if he does not allow reproduction rights to his speeches, then he will be a hypocrite.

That would still give him two cents worth, wouldn't it? Stallman is crazy. An interesting kind of crazy, but tomcruiseshit crazy nonetheless.
