Even though I tried to be gentle, Mr. Stallman is continuing his manipulative
strategies from over the years and even over decades to put words in mouths--
and--to continue to create more incoherence reporting the facts than there is
is the actual facts themselves.

I would strongly suggest you evaluate both Mr. Stallman's history of speeches
and online writings, as well as my own, if only to the tune of spending a ten
minute's scant reading of what we have each left in the written record.
