> Have you seen the "pleasure cards"?

Yes, having been asked "business or pleasure" countless times during his travel, his "pleasure card" is a nice pun on "business card". Of course, some might not like puns, so this reduces to "guy uses corny joke to introduce himself." I'm sure that never happened before.

> I can testify of him harassing people privately over public discussions on mailing lists.

Taking disagreements off-list is now harassment instead of good form?

Feel free to reproduce exactly these harassing private exchanges here. I'm fairly sure rms wouldn't mind, so there is nothing stopping you from providing actual evidence for this particular accusation.

That's the nerdiest joke that I ever heard.

BTW this is the first time I heard the pleasure card explanation. Poor choice for a joke.

It wasn't disagreement, but aggressive harassment including legal threads.
