"Your stance on privacy and security was made evident on irc, hence my skepticism."

That was only about the primary reason for using free software. For you, I understand that the primary reasons for you to use it is over privacy and security. For me, the primary reasons are the social, ethical and political issues. That does not mean privacy and security aren't important, only that they are not my primary reason for using free software. (As an example, I would use an free program with major security holes over a proprietary one that didn't have those security holes because the freedom is the more important aspect.) Besides, free software was started for social, ethical, and political reasons - not technical ones - but I understand from IRC that you reject this.
