MetalSpike, you're not

MetalSpike, you're not making much sense.

If libervisco thinks the deal offered by AMD is fair enough to be greeted with huge applause, that's his opinion. If someone posts an opinion on the web, that doesn't mean everyone else has to accept that opinion. It's his right to have and voice that opinion, and it's your right to disagree. Libervisco never said you should agree with him (or else what?), yet you respond as if he did. Knocking down straw mans, are we?

Furthermore you seem to think only Richard Stallman should be allowed to express opinions similar to those of Richard Stallman. Yes, wouldn't it be nice if it seemed only one person had those whacky ideas? It would certainly feel more comfortable than being surrounded by many more similar lunatics, right?

As you said, there are as many "whackos" on Linux as there are fanboys on Windows and Mac. But these aren't crazy about "ease of use" or "my OS is better than yours because it is, nyah nyah nyah", they talk of freedom and ethics. Being a "Linux whacko" requires quite a bit more intelligence than liking win or mac. If there are many of them - you say so - then perhaps there is some merit to their opinions?

I am intrigued by your last paragraph. If you tell libervisco to be patient and persevering, that implies you believe he will get what he wants if he uses those virtues, and that you want this to happen - otherwise you wouldn't offer this helpful advice. Don't tell me YOU also bought into all of Richard Stallman's ideals!

In conclusion, you think libervisco is a whacko, yet you agree with him. Interesting...

By the way, commenting on things you haven't read completely: bad habit. Sooner or later it's going to make you look stupid because you will make a remark to which a good response was already given in the part you didn't read. Heck, not reading the whole article makes you look stupid and arrogant regardless of how much sense your reply makes.
