Re: Real men don't attack straw men (Theo)
I see you are being your usual friendly self ;-}. Yes, and you are being the usual slimy hypocritical asshole. I really fail to see, how a response like this serves OpenBSD or any other good purpose at all! If Richard Stallman is a hypocrite his answers and statements will show this by themselves, and nobody needs to be told. By stating it like this you only make yourself look stupid and childish, even if you are right! I used to respect you a lot Theo but that respect has been lost because of this ugly behaviour. Ofcourse you don't care about that, but I really think you are hurting BSD, and not just OpenBSD, by confirming what a lot of people has said so many times - OpenBSD has an unfriendly atmosphere. You are a slime who changes his position as he needs. You may have had value ten years ago, but people will see that you don't anymore. Richard Stallman has done one thing right during all of this, and that is to keep responding in a friendly way, explaining his views. One can agree or not, but calling someone a slime, just because you don't agree, or just because you think he is bad, really makes no sense what so ever! It just make you look bad!

Hmpf I have always found OpenBSD to be actually quite friendly. This is to someone who often top posts out of Microsoft Outlook. Actually everybody seems to lean over backwards to be as friendly and helpful as possible. However, they do seem to have a low tolerance for blatant and persistent stupidity.

I really fail to see, how a response like this serves OpenBSD or any other good purpose at all! It serves our purposes to make it clear to peoepl that Richard's mission to make his approval seem valid... is false and hypocritical. If you don't like that, go find something else to do. If Richard Stallman is a hypocrite his answers and statements will show this by themselves, and nobody needs to be told. By stating it like this you only make yourself look stupid and childish, even if you are right! Richard spoke on a show, and Richard said false and uneducated things, and then Richard came to our list. It always helps if hypocrites show that they are hypocrites, but it also helps to remind people so, over and over. I used to respect you a lot Theo but that respect has been lost because of this ugly behaviour. And I'll shed a tear over that, Rico, whoever you are. Ofcourse you don't care about that, but I really think you are hurting BSD, No. I am not hurting BSD. Richard is hurting BSD, by trying to act as if his hypocritical approval amounts to anything. and not just OpenBSD, by confirming what a lot of people has said so many times - OpenBSD has an unfriendly atmosphere. That is irrelevant. And why would I care? You are a slime who changes his position as he needs. You may have had value ten years ago, but people will see that you don't anymore. Richard Stallman has done one thing right during all of this, and that is to keep ... changing the rules, in any way that lets his project get off the hook, while making others who he does not like look like they are breaking the rules of what it 'takes to be a free project'. That's his goal. That's all he has done for 10 years. He's written no code. He has just pontificated and attacked people who actually write code. He sits on the largest pile of money donated for free software, and he squanders it wastefully. EVERYTHING code related that people thinks comes from the FSF today, comes to us without Richard Stallman actually working on it. Richard is just another random long haired hypocritical mouthpiece, who will be known after his death as the original author of the C compiler which is used by more of the closed-source embedded industry than any other C compiler.
