weev does no credit to Richard Stallman or his philosophy by insisting that either must be considered beyond criticism or above reproach, or suggesting that the controversy around things like Heartbleed and shellshock amount to character assassination, or casting him as, literally, a Sisyphean figure who practically singlehandedly created the modern software world, only to be cast aside by simpletons who can't comprehend his awesomeness.

Particularly, given the position of free software advocates themselves who are more than willing to deride, malign and condemn as immoral or evil any program that doesn't have a GPL attached.

I agree that making fun of his weight or his eccentricities is in poor taste, but his ideas are fair game, which is as it should be.

RMS may be right. Personally, I think he's right about a lot of things. But he didn't come down off the mountain with clay tablets written on by the finger of God.
