You're not wrong, but neither is rms. The little boy pointing out that the emperor's new clothes are non-existent is no less right for breaking social mores, but is rather less likely to actually be paid attention to.
- hprotagonist 9y agoThis is so, but RMS undercuts himself by declaiming with authority on matters of opinion as if they were matters of fact. "c...rap" is the most obvious example of this cited upthread. de gustibus non est disputandum, man; spend more time talking about more objective things with objective tone.
- RodericDay 9y agoThen you can pick up the task of translating RMS to other people, and making his message more palatable. It's fine and dandy to point out that some well-meaning person is bad at messaging, but you can do better than just complain about it. You can be the good messenger yourself.
