I think this post should be flagged.
Neither RobSpectre or the Brooklyn Hacker were there, and this post is mainly just a one-sided attack on RMS by someone who ... wasn't there.
I expect this crap from Reddit, not from Hacker News.
- pdog 14y agoI didn't read it as an attack.
- ari_elle 14y agoMe neither. I read it more as a humorous anecdote about our favourite old-school hacker and free software ideologist.
- RobSpectre 14y agoAppreciated - wasn't an attack and I was there. I didn't stand super close to RMS when the exchange occurred, so wanted to be clear I was paraphrasing.
- jerrya 14y agoI read this as the beginning of an attack: Beard matted into a bizarre pizza crust flapping off the end of his chin, Followed up by He waddled Maybe I am being overly sensitive, but this is not how complimentary or affectionate descriptions often work in my world.
- mcantelon 14y ago"Beard matted into a bizarre pizza crust" ... "waddled up". Not an attack, but hardly respectful: a smug, substance-free attempt to make light of him and his concerns.
- bsphil 14y agoIt made me laugh. I don't see it as an attack. Maybe against SaaS APIs, but that's it.
