Microsoft is not a technology company, it's a mindset or a movement, :-)



Abuse is a mindset. Taking a shit is a movement.



People sometimes ask why Microsoft can be so full of sociopaths. The answer
is
simple; people recruit likeminded people.



So what does that say about GNU / Stallman? Do you really think GNU/Linux
folks are more likely to support child porn and pedophilia than are other
groups?



I don't believe that at all.
The Linux users just don't have the balls to buck the herd,
especially one of their leaders, so they try to derail the topic
regarding Stallman's somewhat strange comments.



"Somewhat strange" is putting it very, very mildly.

But none of the herd will admit how repulsive the man is.

Sadly you may have a point.

If the top of the company
is sociopaths, then that cascades downwards through HR. How many
people would actually /apply/ to work for Sweaty Steve Ballmer?



How many people would want to associate themselves with Stallman. The man
is far, far worse than Ballmer.

In real life?
Nobody except another sexual deviant.



Not just a sexual deviant, but one who supports the abuse of children (and,
frankly, likely engages it in himself - though he has not directly said as
much).

In the world of Linux advocacy you will never see the herd stampede
one of their own. Never.
What you will see is the herd offering up every possible theory to
attempt to explain away comments such as those that RMS made.



As they vilify those in MS or Apple for much less offensive comments.

I don't believe for a minute that anyone of sound mind and body
would defend and support those statements so they do the next best
thing, avoid the topic or try and explain it all away which is
usually done by attacking the other side.



And insisting anyone who merely *quotes* Stallman must be lying.

Unlike the Linux freaks, I don't judge them by the comments their
leaders make but I can't help but wonder what kind of ruckus would
have been created had Ballmer or Jobs made similar statements.



It would have been very loud. And if Jobs or Ballmer or Gates has said
those things I would be just as appalled.

The same number as who would use Windows is they had a choice.

Hardware and Windows editions (x86 not optional, though).

Stallman supports free speech and you ass holes make it out to look like
he is a pervert.

Look at what Snit wrote, and be dumbfounded. I used to think Snit was
just an ADD obsessive compulsive candy-ass, but he's proven to be a
nasty piece of work.

Buttressed by "Hadron" and "Arizone Freak" (Flounder) of course.

Can anyone remember when the times were not hard, and money not scarce?
