You didn't address what he said. He said Linux wouldn't exist without GNU; you have to disprove that or prove that XWindows and KDE were necessary for Linux to exist for your "joke" to make any sense (at least any sense to someone who thinks twice).
Richard Stallman is many things. He has a bit of an ego I think, a much deserved one at that. But in the end, the man hates people who try and tell him what to do. He hates people who sell out. Like that, hate that, whatever you want; but a man has the right to strongly held beliefs and unless you can show him to be what you're calling him you have no right.
Frankly, you're out of line. Keep your feelings of hate to yourself and keep it to the facts ... sir.
