In the news: Eric S. Raymond shifts to Ubuntu (probably OT even on sounder by now)

/me raises hand

I'm happy to associate myself with Stallman's views (call me a Stallmanista or Stallmanist or whatever you want).

But if you're so eager to dismiss people, by all means feel free to start by adding me to your killfile.

My personal opinion is that Stallman has made no such dunder-headed statement, nor taken dunder-headed action, and that if it 
weren't for rms, the world of GNU/linux and free software would look vastly different.
