Chill out.
Just because my comment was terse, doesn't make it less honest. I believe that RMS is no longer pertinent to current era, he is not solving nowadays problems and he is only generating sounds. He degraded to the level of a picturesque figure, but I'm not saying that he has always been like that.
I am a free person and have the right to express myself. I like that my thoughts are subjected to criticism, I just expect more than reflexive mod-downs.

Well, technically what you said isn't true yet. RMS won't be *truly* irrelevant until no one bothers to bash him in threads like this, or until Thom and the other places like osnews stop bothering to post what RMS says/does.
:)

Don't be ridiculous, no one in this thread bashing RMS has been modded down, they've been modded up.
And its kinda funny too, since RMS didn't do this letter thing by himself. So I guess those 2 civil liberties groups who also signed that letter are also 'kooks' / 'nutcases'. Heh.

Trolls like you are the only irrelevant people in OSS.
