    That’s the feeling I got too. It’s difficult to take such articles seriously, articles that parse what people said in minute detail with insertions of conclusions for the reader to agree with. It’s like the reader is being led on to the conclusion the writer wants.

    IMO Stallman has no idea what he’s talking about and drawing arbitrary lines in the sand, but doing so on a subject that people feel very strongly about - and it’s not a harmless debate about vim vs emacs, but actual human experiences. Topics involving young people evoke something in most people and Stallman is treading right into it. Well, at least in the cherry-picked quotes he is. I have no desire, time, nor will to read investigate what some dude thinks on the topic.
