You're making the exact same argument the RMS made, using the same logical construction that I laid down as being the argument RMS made, while arguing that I do not understand RMS's point.

I understood his point. I understood your point. I find the point to be pedantic.

You're not the only one here? And pedantry is rather immaterial in the long run.

Stallman certainly fits the bill, but when it is time to render a judgement we all need to focus on the details. We need to render a judgement on what actually happened, not what quick-to-outrage folks imagined happened. Details matter here.

A few people appear to believe that when something very bad happens we need to expand culpability to include everyone in the neighborhood who's not sufficiently condemning. I hope it is a minority viewpoint.

If you would like to make a point that isn't a direct rebuttal to mine, it is possible to start your own thread, and make your point there.

As it stands, you seem to agree that RMS' point was pedantic.
