He seemed to be implying that because his death was such big news he was someone to admire. I was making the point that how famous your death is has nothing to do with how good of a person you are. Though the point is moot, since it seems he was being sarcastic. > Jobs was a loss The whole point here is that to RMS it was not a loss at all -- it was a gain that a large entity that opposes his movement has now been hopefully (hopefully to rms) weakened. Of course the loss of human life is a loss and all that stuff, but this isn't about Steve Jobs the person, it's about the influence he had on the world.
