I liked your first comment better :) I'd like to believe folks when they defend RMS on things like this, but this isn't a first time offense for him. I used to have a lot of respect for the FSF and RMS but then I started reading their websites and publications and my opinions changed. I agree with RMS (to an extent anyway) on the importance of software freedom and I understand his reasoning in this post, but to strangers to the cause, he really does look like (Gene Ray, Alex Chiu, Jack Chick, Insert your cuckoo here.) If you think analogy was extreme, that's fair I should pay more attention to how I sound to people who don't share my exact beliefs or experiences, but note, you are getting angry at me for exactly the same reason people are angry at Stallman. The difference is I'm a nobody who sometimes lapses in judgment and will gladly admit it whereas Stallman is the representative of his movement and he makes extreme comments all the time. Stallman does more damage to both Jobs and free software than I can possibly do to him. (PS. This is just a hunch, but I think the reason these statements are getting notoriety is not the Stallman-hating crowd, which is rather small but the Jobs-loving crowd who've taken offense at his words.)
