Mono Project If you don't like personal, blog-style reporting, you might want to skip this item. A few days ago, during a speech at Software Freedom Day in Boston, Richard Stallman has, at least in my book, crossed a line that I thought he would never cross.

RMS is a idealist and an extremist at that...I would compare him to greenpeace activist in way he prefers to do things, his ideals are good and intentions well but the way he goes about with these things only serves to alienate him from the moderates.

I believe RMS is a genius when it comes to code but he REALLY should leave public speeches to other people because it's very known fact that every time RMS opens his mouth, large WHOOM can be heard around the world with all PR people working for open source companies facepalming same time.
