"I can't imagine Stallman being happy with having a filter"

Yeah... How happy do you think he is now??? I can guarantee he is sitting at home right now replaying the last week over in his head wishing he would have kept his mouth shut. What is next for this dude? He will NEVER be able to get a job ANYWHERE cause no one will want to be associated with him. I HIGHLY doubt he made enough money to just retire... So really... What's next for him?

Everyone thinks filters are control and evil, however, sometimes they are there for your protection.

You underestimate the level RMS operates at. Somebody who dedicates his life to an ideal is not going to cry about the occasional setback.

> He will NEVER be able to get a job ANYWHERE

You really underestimate RMS. There is a world beyond the US, that doesn't really care that much about PC culture. Roman Polanski never stopped working, and he actually did have sex with a minor.
