I did not claim it was objective. And I never used the term "free software fanatics" in the document. The only mention of it is: "fanatics of the 'free software' term", which is completely different thing. > Two > sections further demonstare misuse of economic and political science > buzzwords and a few factual mistakes as well. > Can you please enlighten me regarding what the problem is exactly and in what section?

It seems to me that you are deprecating the entire essay qua being such an essay, instead of trying to point whatever problems you find.
