The antics of RMS are well documented. Just reciently, he felt compelled to
go after on of the linux magazines I subscribe to about the GNU/Linux crap
again. It's tired, old, and stale - and many people (Linus included) have
told him several times that no one cares, please don't bring it up again.
Then there was the famous 'nose sex' incident. 

RMS can be a nice guy (I met him at this just past penguicon) when he's not
being a Gun nut. Gun nut and Linux nut do not mix! Let me be clear - I'm
very pro gun, I was in the service for 8 years. I'm anti using something
TOTALLY unrelated (software in any form) to push the 'Gun Agenda'.

Speaking of my time in the Navy, we had a saying. It only takes one 'aw,
shit' to ruin 99 'ataboy!'s. Their past behavior is just as relavent to the
discussion as Theo's is.

I'm older than you think.
