Richard Stallman: How I do my Computing
Every time an rms article comes up trolls come out of the woodwork to rally about what a kook he is and all "the horrible things" he's done.  "Why the nerve, living a life different than I would choose!?  IT MUST BE STOPPED."  Snooze. I've been reading this fear-mongering regularly since '97.<p>Why is he so threatening?  It's not like you have to share a studio apartment with the guy.  Have any complainers contributed 1/10th as much to the public good?  Highly unlikely.  The sickest individuals are those who angrily rail against the unconventional in my opinion.<p>I, for one welcome rms and nonconformists in general.  Life is a lot more interesting and fruitful with them around.  I appreciate my free operating system thank you, and don't pass judgements on what he does in the privacy of his own home (or blog).<p>Watch the revolution os doc and you'll see these geeks are quite likeable, sometimes funny, and nothing to be afraid of.
