LOL you jump to conclusions with such confidence
Which would escalate things
ROFL D'YA THINK!
Looks like you'll need to pay VAT but no duty:

his views as expressed by himself on his site are also pretty extreme, and I don't find those good
I've always found Stallman's views to be impeccably rational. To me, the extremity is instead in the irrationality of those who find Stallman's views extreme. In general, people aren't rational and find it difficult to cope when they come across a person who is. I think this is why so many people find Stallman's notes distasteful.
Irrationality is also why I find this report to be so ugly: it's full of non sequiturs. It's a product of irrational, seemingly damaged minds.
LOL I disagree.
did some cool things with software
LOL what an understatement
when he threatened suicide if Betsy did not agree to date him
I skipped to the section on allegations of misconduct and stopped reading here. They just quoted Stallman saying he didn’t threaten suicide and then the (nameless, cowardly) authors immediately say “he threatened suicide”. Despicable. There is nobody to back up Betsy’s side. There’s no response from Betsy to Stallman’s recent comments on the incident. And yet this is the first “corroborated” example they come out with.
This site is another insidious hit piece full of holes. I pity the authors that they’re so twisted and power-hungry in their relentless attacking of a man who has clearly suffered for having a different mind to most and yet also contributed so much. Much more, I would guess, than these snakes will ever contribute.
LOL I'm not asking because I don't understand and I want you to explain it to me, I'm trying to get you to see the error in your thinking.
What holes do you see in the logic of this document?

If you want to be the BDFL and public face of a large organization, it's not enough to be technically correct. You also need to be someone who is at least tolerable to interact with.
By the same token, if you want to attack a respected hacker, you need to not talk bollocks.
No. Heat affects everyone. Regarding Debian, what exactly do you think has affected everyone?
Just FYI, penned by Stallman himself no less: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html
