Okay look. Not saying RMS is a pedo. Not saying he or you or anyone else is not entitled to their opinions about things. Merely that from a public relations point of view, as a "spokesperson" for the FSF and the free software movement, it's just not a good idea to say that kind of stuff.

And suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree when it comes to the sensibility of what he said, that's a bit of a side issue here.

But to the point, remember the episode of the Linux Action Show with the RMS interview? What's the first thing they brought up in the follow up episode? Oh right, he's a pedo and he hates children. Great, let's forget everything he said and get back to our Ubuntu Linux boxes, shall we? Which is more or less what you get when you imply that pedophilia can be perfectly okay and that we shouldn't have kids. Nobody wins.

Obviously everybody *should* have the right to speak their mind on whatever subject, but that doesn't mean it's always very *wise* to.

As for Hitler, he had a nice mustache. And the commies killed far more people than the nazis, in case anyone's keeping score. =x
