This is getting frustrating. While I don't agree with Stallman that _all_ software needs to be free, I think the LAS interview with RMS was pathetic.
Bryan Lunduke quickly jumped to the, "think of the children!" argument. It was very unclassy of him. It's fine, I see people fallback to that kind of argument a lot, especially when they think they're losing their footing in a debate, but I expected better from him.
Bryan took a lot of emotion-fueled cheapshots at Stallman. In contrast, at least Stallman was very clear and straightforward about what he believed, even if you think some of the things he said were insane. I'm surprised he had such little exposure to RMS before this, and was actually surprised by his beliefs.
"If you disagree with me, then you obviously hate children." This is really pathetic. Go ahead, try to make it _impossible_ for people to disagree with you. Blackmail the audience, play on their emotions, and guilt them into agreeing with you. I was really disgusted by these tactics.
