It's in the sphere of believability when it comes to Stallman. He's a pretty eccentric bloke.
- roenxi 7y agoHe's been forced to resign from 2-3 organisations and we've got an article here that says he might be homeless and a suicide risk. "He's a pretty eccentric bloke" is not enough to justify using something that looks like a joke as evidence of problems stretching back to 1980. That quote is 33% of the shocking evidence mentioned in this link section 2. The vi vs emacs 'holy war' is also a long running joke that Stallman gets involved in sometimes. He doesn't actually object to vi.
- loktarogar 7y agosee, they use the joke an abbreviation of all the problems. they've been living it, this isn't a new thing like it seems to be for many here; for them, summing up with one joke is far more efficient than listing off all the incidents that are just facts in their world.
