Why do you refer to Stallman as a wacko? Why do you accuse him of being insane?
I would love to read the opinion of someone trained in human mental health care insofar as Stallman's mental health is concerned.
- corentin 18y agoHe's not clinically insane; it's just that he "doesn't have people skills"...
- wheels 18y ago> http://www.catb.org/~esr/software.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/software.html That's a long list, but most of them are toys, scripts or quick hacks. Even the ones that almost look significant at first glance -- i.e. bogofilter or sed -- not so much. His version of bogofilter was 900 lines of code and his version of sed 1700. I'd guess that the total amount of code that he's written that gets packaged for a standard Linux distribution is maybe 5k LOC. That's being generous, honestly. And that's what I find disingenuous when he's busy talking about his prolific OSS background. The comments about Stallman's sanity weren't meant to be taken literally. I assumed that was obvious.
- mroman 18y agoOk, you don't think that's much code/of very high quality/of much usefulness . . . very well, I now respectfully ask you to tell us how much/of what quality/how useful code YOU have contributed.
