More helpful would be if both lists highlighted people who actually worked closely with RMS / occupied official positions within FSF / GNU / etc.
For example, I will absolutely defer to Matthew Garrett and Benjamin Mako Hill and Bradley Kuhn over... uh, "agentOfChaos."
- sildur 6y agoWell. I would absolutely defer to Eric S. Raymond over... uh, "Z" (signature number 2771 right now).
- bigbillheck 6y agoI have no idea who "Z" is, but I would do the exact opposite.
- morelisp 6y agoAt this point I would not even defer to ESR over an issue concerning gun polyamory.

- jordigh 6y agoIt's 4chan, sources don't stay up very long nor do they get archived by archive.org But if you go to /g/ now, you'll see plenty of activity around this letter.
