> Every time an article involving Richard Stallman gets posted here I cringe as I read through the comments. There are a range of opinions so I don't want to overgeneralize but there are a large number of people here that seem to almost despise Stallman and the FSF.
Oh, his contributions have been (and still are) invaluable. He is the mastermind behind the FSF movement, not to mention that he has written some amazing pieces of software, by himself. I am writing this with Emacs.
But, as a spokesman, I think he falls short on several areas. The movement really needs someone with more charisma, diplomacy, empathy and tact.
Granted, it is not his fault that noone seem to want the job.
> or really, really likes parrots.
Hey, speak for yourself. If there ever was something that really touched me, that was it. I couldn't see the human being behind the persona before.
