So which side is right? The people for whom which pg can do no wrong, or the people for whom which rms can do no right?

  Neither. The people that are right are the people that apply the same reasonable standards to any demagogue. They're rare among humans, but they are the least wrong. In particular, you are wrong, since you're incapable of separating RMS's political stance on software freedom from his political stance on surveillance. If Paul Graham didn't use a cell phone, would that make Y Combinator any worse?

    I'm wrong about what now? Where did I make any claims to be wrong about?

        Uh, so you're arguing that it is "not telling?" I really don't see what claim you are arguing against.
