You are aware that the St. IGNUcius bit is a spoof on dogmatic religion, right? Maybe that offends you as a religious person, but it's hardly fair to hold that

You are aware that the St. IGNUcius bit is a spoof on dogmatic religion, right?
Maybe that offends you as a religious person, but it's hardly fair to hold that against Stallman whose audiences are usually mainly fellow atheists, or religious people who can tolerate being the subject of a bit of light satire.
- mav3rick 7y agoConveniently ignored "a girl who is a virgin". How frustrating must that be for a girl in the audience.
- craigsmansion 7y agoWondering about your effort to maintain an argument in good faith, I read up a little: "mav3rick: What about the KoolAid that HN drinks against anything Facebook, Google ?" "mav3rick: He seems like an out and out terrorist." I think these are indicative you will say whatever it takes to discredit rms, because he takes a stand against everything you believe in. You are being dishonest in your motivations. I think I'll conveniently ignore you all together.
- mav3rick 7y agoNice, attack the person and not the point I made. Did you address the "virgin girl" that RMS uses in his stupid speech. Even your comments are all pro RMS yet I'm engaging you.

Please stop, and please avoid this sort of spat on HN in the future, regardless of how right you are or feel, or how wrong the other person is. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- mav3rick 7y agoOh so now it's the audience's fault to not be "tolerant" of RMS' bullshit.
- craigsmansion 7y agoAgain, please read what I wrote. I'm starting to doubt you are providing an argument in good faith here as you are constantly generalising. If some religious members of an audience, who are very serious about their faith, go to see a known outspoken atheist, maybe that wasn't the best idea. As far as I know the St. IGNUcius skit is fairly well received in general.
- mav3rick 7y agoI don't care about religion. I care about alienating women. The 'virgin girl' bit is clearly gratuitous and peddles gender stereotypes about men in CS.
