Without expressing myself about one side or another, or even not expressing myself about RMS case (ie: if he's an autistic person or not) autism is a mental disease. Putting someone with a mental disease in charge is not exactly a good idea. Are you trying to make a case that we should be indulgent with RMS because he's autistic? If that is your intention, you're achieving the exact opposite thing with your message... Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
