OSNews

If by "truth" you mean "off-the-wall rants", then you might have a point.

Can you please give the source for RMS' comment, please? You know, so we can see the context?

By the way, "fasco-commies" is an oxymoron. Fascism and communism are at opposing poles of the political spectrum.

I think you're mostly being dugg down because you do not respect OSNews' terms or participating in these forums (and for Godwinning threads). But perhaps you just enjoy wasting time writing stuff that nobody will read...

"Can you please give the source for RMS' comment, please? You know, so we can see the context? "

From doing a web search, the articles regardign RMS's "crime against humanity" statement, seemed to be in response to a dev putting "timebombs" in his code to prevent it from being used by pirates:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman
"When Brian Reid in 1979 placed "time bombs" in Scribe to restrict unlicensed access to the software, Stallman proclaimed that "the prospect of charging money for software was a crime against humanity."[11]"

"Brian Reid's 1979 decision to embed "time bombs" in Scribe, making it possible for Unilogic to limit unpaid user access to the software, was a dark omen to Stallman. "He considered it the most Nazi thing he ever saw in his life," recalls Reid. Despite going on to later Internet fame as the cocreator of the Usenet alt heirarchy, Reid says he still has yet to live down that 1979 decision, at least in Stallman's eyes. "He said that all software should be free and the prospect of charging money for software was a crime against humanity."8 "

"Some of them, yes. ESR is one such example, although so far he's only full-out supported genocide on the basis of race and religion."

What the h**l are you going on about. I was enjoying most of this thread until you showed up. Is this the writing of a racist?

Reads a lot like something Bill Cosby would write. You also have not read anything by ESR, after all, how could you equate his discussions about "cultural-genocide" to actual genocide. You are in idiot.

tpaws, I hate to say this, but it while it is something that a "personal-responsibility" African-American might write, it also sounds like something David Duke would write, in attempt to present his rasicm in a socially-acceptable manner.

Now, taken on its own, I don't have much problem with that article (other than the patronizing of African-Americans by the all-knowing "white man" tone). But couple that with what I read in wikipedia, which I cited in my previous post, and it does not paint a pretty picture for ESR.

Any link to such a statement from ESR?

He has never supported any kind of genocide!
He's clearly anti-Left as all libertarians are, but he is equally anti-Right.

IMHO, there isn't a single controversial post in his blog, apart from clear support for software patents. Apart from that it's pretty uncontroversial (unless one belongs to the militant Left).
