I want to live in a world where being "offensive" is not a crime, considering that being offensive to who is really subjective. There is a large difference between a man's character and his own work. Jobs is idolized by the US while at the same time being recognized the worst asshole one can have worked/lived with (he even denied recognition to his own daughter). Just label RMS another asshole and move on if you don't like the man. I wonder how many of his critics live a real life, with real bosses, colleagues, even family members and friends they don't agree with. The road to hell is paved with attempts to please everyone.
- not2b 6y agoIn answer to your last sentence: almost every single one of his critics has lived a real life, with real bosses and colleagues, etc. The difficulty is that if the problematic person is in control, the only way to "move on" is to not deal with the organization that person controls. If this is what the FSF wants, they can go in that direction.
- sildur 6y agoYes, this is what the FSF wants. Now go make your own FSF. With blackjack.
