Why are such persons even allowed to operate linux equipment?
Because in order to still be for us, software freedom has to be

But surely you can't mean literally "everyone," yes?
Just cast a glance at the group of characters who
frequent this email list. I see every sort of dubious
personality trait represented here, from outright
antisocials to obvious dropouts from the neighborhood
"community" mental health clinics.
This herd ought to be seriously thinned before it is
permitted to touch a serious piece of networked
equipment. Imagine what could go wrong! OMG. One's
blood curdles. Besides, a drastically reduced
population could only help poor bedraggled Mother
Earth, and we are all still for helping the Earth,
yes?

Man is essentially a dreamer, wakened sometimes for a moment by some
peculiarly obtrusive element in the outer world, but lapsing again
quickly into the happy somnolence of imagination. Freud has shown how
largely our dreams at night are the pictured fulfilment of our wishes;
he has, with an equal measure of truth, said the same of day-dreams;
and he might have included the day-dreams which we call beliefs.
