OK, fair enough. I thought about putting in a comment about how much I disagree with ESR on most things these days. But this paper came out before he started using his sudden exposure as a soap box. I was trying to keep things centered on the spirit of F/OSS as I saw it when I was much younger and way more interested in code and systems than politics.
But since we opened that can now, yes, homophobic, racist writing based on a flawed understanding of libertarian-ism and it's worst qualities have done a lot to dampen my opinion of him in the last 10 years or so...
RMS I still read and tend to agree with even though he is just as maligned in some modern communities as ESR, just for very different reasons.
