It's a valid point that the open source world has more than its share of people considered awful to some, almost as long as the movement has existed; had we considered the politics, tactics and behaviors of some of these project leaders before using their code there might not be any open source movement today.

I won't belabor the point, a chunk of which is personal -- ie. my comments are based on in-person encounters, not just spew I read on the Internet. And frankly I'm slightly amused at the speed at which Stallman's defence appeared.
