Since we have descended to the level of rant anyway...

Isn't the main idea*) of "free" software a freedom of choice? Doesn't seeking the approval of one führer man, however charismatic, go directly against that idea?

Some people like calling the users of certain commercial operating systems "sheep". I am sorry but if you are not grown up enough to make up your own mind about which [software | OS | computer | mobile phone | pair of underpants] is "acceptable" but need Mr Stallman or anyone else to tell you then I think we have someone better suitable to carry the title.

*) Alright, maybe not main, but at least one of the ideas.

EDIT: The above is by no means meant to diminish Mr Stallman's or anyone else's contributions and achievemnts. It is aimed squarely at those who say, "I don't know if I like it, I need to go and ask XY's opinion first."
