Dead wrong, Mike. My warnings about RMS and the GPL are warnings ABOUT his mindless ideological hatred and that of his followers. >To use the same - truly ugly - analogy, if RMS is a mindless >terrorist attacking innocent civilians, then Brett is a right-wing >fanatic advocating nuking the suspects in retaliation. Your analogy is not at all valid. I am not jingoistic, as RMS is; nor would I advocate "nuking" him. I have merely pointed out his destructive agenda and its potential effects, just as I would speak out about any form of hateful fanatacisim. (It might also be worthwhile to point out the similarity between RMS' methods and those of many terrorists; by distributing the effort, he hopes to make it difficult to stop.) Alas, you appear to be one of RMS' fanatical sympathizers. Your messages to and about me are hateful, and your attacks on me are as unjustified as RMS's wanton attacks on all professional programmers. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
