The correct term is "bollocks." In any event, not so at all.

Also untrue. I don't "hate" Richard Stallman, though I do believe
that what he is doing is unethical. It is Stallman who is filled
with hatred -- the result of the trauma documented so well in
Steven Levy's book "Hackers" and in Stallman's own writings --
and is causing much harm. I'm speaking out against that hatred
and malice. 

I cannot understand why you are attacking me for doing so. The 
only motivations I can imagine are (a) that you share Stallman's
spite and hatred; (b) that you've been taken in by the propaganda
he has spread to further his agenda; or (c) you think you have
something to gain within the social group of this mailing list
by attacking me.
