Hi, No matter what the contributions are things will come to a sorry state of affairs when people are exalted to the status of gods and their words are considered to be infallible. When ever such a thing occurs the human god will start spewing out nonsense from his mouth just because he is blinded by pride and made foolish by the power he can wield. The greatest foes/woes of FSF are their fanatic guys who refuse to listen to good logic and refuse to tolerate people with differing views, who give more importance to politics than to technology and fail to observe a balance between the two.
