We, the HN members, could try to have a discussion about this. I’m not sure it would be fruitful though.

    Neither was the open letter.

      Then you express that view in a civilized manner in your comment. I go to Reddit for my flamewars.

        Why put in the effort for people who don't even bother?

          For the other users.

  HN has already discussed this topic to death in thousands of comments across multiple years[1]. I have never seen anyone change anyone else's mind on this topic. It's just a flame/culture war. People join the discussion with a predetermined tribe and don't leave it. 1. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=stallman&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
