I see other differences: Theo write code, see and supervise commits to the OpenBSD tree, fight whit hardware manufacturers directly, and have puntual and clear fundamentals, opinions and statements. Richard promote non clear software, linked to non clear libraries, that manage non clear formats even on non clear platforms, on unreadable tons of code very difficult to audit and defend. Bot of them use to cause furor or flames when speak. Could be because of the people predisposition, or ignorance or intelligence. But there are other differences: While one is making (really free) commits to a cvs, the other is walking without clothes on your non-free house, non-free flying and eating your non-free food, to go to speak through proprietary microphones to people that use windows PDAs, and tell a story that "may be wrong, or my be ok, because it is my story or may don't be, blabla" While one is going to try to convince his fable, legend, about a kernel that wasn't GNUable but it was the only recomendable option, flaming on list, papers, interviews, talks and songs, the other is going to hack on a really recomendable system, bit by bit, line by line, function by function... While one is wrong, confusing, manipulating, saying things are not true or not reality, or not the full picture of a reality, where he is called or where he isn't called, and touching eggs, so that people do that he (from his memory and oxidized vision of the 90's linux) says. The other is usually typing things useful and whit quality, far from media movements, masses, crowds, shit and mediocrity (until someone comes touching eggs) So yes... on this situation one is passive-aggressive (liar, hypocrite and vague) ant the other is aggressive-aggressive (worker, accurate, consistent and informed). You are true. Best regards.
