No no, I respect a lot of people I do not agree with.<p>What I&#x27;m saying is that even if you disagree you can respect only if you recognize the motivations behind someones labor.<p>To say that GNU is good technology but don&#x27;t agree with its premise is disrespectful because, by definition the design has failed if you don&#x27;t agree with the agenda.<p>So you could say that you respect the effort but think it has failed, or you can say that you like the result but don&#x27;t really respect its origins.
