And what, exactly, is your evidence that his is legally insane? Everything I've heard and read from him seems extremely sane. More sane that what I've heard from the opposing camp. Is it because he eats toe cheese? I admit it's pretty strange, but so what? Judge his words and writings. Let his principles stand alone. Then tell me he's insane.

> Is it because he eats toe cheese? If that is your way of presenting the case that Stallman is perfectly sane it somehow falls short of the mark. It's a bit like the defense councilor stating to the judge that the defendant may have a habit or two that is out of the ordinary but otherwise he's a perfectly normal human being. Don't we all, you know, deep down inside. I'm not sure of Stallmans' dietary habits but I would definitely count that one against him. I can't begin to fathom where you dug up this nugget of highly relevant information though, if you didn't just made it up.

  For the record, he didn't make it up. There's Youtube evidence.

    Steve ::shakes head:: it disturbs me that you just know this. I mean did you really search youtube for RMS eating toe cheese. Gross. (alternatively i suppose it could have just popped up on google, but that makes this fact more disturbing for the internet as a whole.)

      It has popped up on reddit, etc. I haven't seen the video, but it was very popular for some reason a while back.

      It's a well-known Youtube video.

  It's a fairly well-known bit of nastiness about RMS . I can't be bothered to Google it for you - mostly because I don't want to deal with the results (too early in the morning for me for those images in my head).

  I think you missed the point. My point was that you should be able to judge the argument without prejudice based on the speaker. If you are using credibility as your mode of discerning the truth, then I fear that you will be wrong about most things in life.
