He's an outspoken misogynist and homophobe.


And has a long unrepentant well documented track record of racism and islamophobia and climate change denial.

And he's made his career by trying to destroy RMS's life's work, instead of doing anything constructive.

I could go on.

Source: I've known him since the early 80's.

What are you referring to ?


I don't know what commenter was writing about, but he often played the "RMS is an extremist," card and would position himself as the sane person. Some people didn't like that, even though RMS is an extremist. I think many people (including me) got the sense that he was being manipulative to gain power.

Other than that, every once in a while he makes an annoying jab at RMS, and in at least one case, I felt he was grossly misrepresenting something RMS had said in order to gain more support for his own agenda.


I will give other people a chance to respond first, and for you to practice your google-fu, before turning the firehose of historical facts on you. There is a lot of evidence out there.
