No matter how valid some of these arguments may or may not be, this is like the nth time ESR has had to make this sort of point, which is basically to attempt to lessen the cultural impact of RMS and the other MIT AI guys.
Like, we get it dude. 30+ years later you're still upset that you didn't get into MIT and weren't part of the MIT/CMU/SAIL crowd. Steven Levy didn't mention you in Hackers and called RMS "the last true hacker" -- we get it, you're still butthurt. But seriously dude, move the fuck on...
- angersock 13y agoWould you care to explain why this analysis of history is/is not compelling, and would you care to cite those comments about ESR's butthurt?
- gaius 13y agoBill Gates was sarcastic to ESR at some conference in the 80s, and that's where his visceral hatred of MS comes from. That combined with his pathological attention seeking. If we ignore him maybe he'll go away.
- anatoly 13y agoI may dislike esr as much as the next fellow, but your response is degrading noise. It wasn't esr who upvoted the link here to the point of your visibility, it was people who found it interesting. If you're annoyed by that, flag, filter, stop reading the site, whatever, but this sort of armchair psychoanalyzing says more about you than esr.
