He's not crazy, he's passionate about his cause, and whether you agree with him or not that passion has led to a lot of good. On the other hand advocating that someone should be "institutionalized" because you happen to disagree with their opinion is going quite a bit farther than Stallman goes.
- axod 17y agoHis stance is that proprietary software is "evil". Why is calling him insane any different than that. Him: Proprietary software is evil Others: Stallman is insane Seem pretty equal to me.
- Daishiman 17y agoHow about reading some of what he writes instead of brushing off his ideals? His assertion of proprietary software being "evil" for some very specific values of "evil" are quite valid. Only fools that don't read his work brush him off so easily; otherwise they'd refute his positions with real arguments.
- axod 17y agoOK, his stance against minified/obfuscated javascript was insane.
