They shouldn't invite you over for dinner again, but it ends there. They don't get to come for your job, your career, your legacy.

- kennywinker 7y agoRight, so if the assholery happens at work then the equivalent of "shouldn't invite you over for dinner again" is being asked not to come back to work.
- virgilp 7y agoExcept that in this analogy, RMS is the one who invited them for dinner. You don't simply get to tell the host that "we don't like you but I think we'll keep meeting in your house for dinner.
- joshuamorton 7y agoSo you're saying that RMS, is the sole owner of everything GNU? No. This is equivalent to a threat to strike. RMS without the GNU project maintainers is just a dude with a blog. And this approximates a vote of no confidence.
- virgilp 7y agoNo - analogies are imperfect. But it's certainly a better analogy, RMS is not just a rude guest.
