Oh I was in tears by the third Stallman posting. It looks like he was posting the same things in other threads as well. Stallman spamming

There are actually rampaging Stallman bots that will post those. It's pretty great, actually. New startup idea: Stallman-as-a-service.

  Stallman-as-a-service Written in either Go or JS, of course. Preferably both.

      why not elisp?

        Elisp is going to become a frontend for Guile, so it's probably future proofing.

  I believe you mean Service-as-a-Stallman-Substitute

  Well, here's Stallman as a shell 1-liner curl -s "http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman" |grep "<li>" | grep -v -E "(Chapter|href|Source:)" | perl -MList::Util -e 'print List::Util::shuffle <>' | head -n1 | sed -E -e "s#</?(li|i|b)>##g"

      This one opens really well, then the inevitable kicks in: The War on Drugs has continued for some 20 years, and we see little prospect of peace, despite the fact that it has totally failed and given the US an imprisonment rate almost equal to Russia. I fear that the War on Copying could go on for decades as well. To end it, we will need to rethink the copyright system, based on the Constitution's view that it is meant to benefit the public, not the copyright owners. Today, one of the benefits the public wants is the use of computers to share copies.
