So ... the only people who have taken the time to actually go through my interpretation of RMS agree with me about how I'm interpreting him? Then why am I being relentlessly trolled and downvoted in this thread, when I have repeatedly stated that this is the only point I wish to defend?
As I said in the OP, I wanted to make a fairly simple point about RMS's leadership of GNU. My claim that it was beyond the pale was something that I explicitly said is "not really relevant for this particular thread".
Maybe a reasonable debate could be had on this point, but it wasn't one that I was interested in having when I wrote the OP (and I said as much), and I definitely don't feel like getting into it now after hours of this miserable slog of a thread. It's also worth pointing out that you're the first person (I think) to debate this point: most comments (go through and read them!) are denying that RMS said these things.
Thank you for at least saying you agree with my interpretation.
