And getting those people to stop excludes people who don't like for anyone to force them to stop and to cave to the mobs.

Why are the people who object to Stallman's views "mobs" - a rabble mindlessly driven by rage and conformity - but "ignorant, rude and sexist" people who agree with him are not?

I have yet to see a mob mentality like that which forms to defend Richard Stallman at all costs.
