Re: [Trisquel-users] Stallman on the Linux Action Show

[krzysiek . stachowiak]

Sorry, I didn't feel offended - rather irritated by some claims and I may  
have got a little carried away. But now that I've got it out of my system I'm  
pretty cool actually.
As a matter of fact I even tend to agree with you, I'd however restate the  
claim a little. I don't find anything wrong about Stallman, but I also  
recognize the fact that he's not here forever and that it is important that  
there are personalities strong enough to successfully take over his work  
until the FS community reaches a critical mass and goes on by itself in the  
long run (maybe it already has and there is no issue?).
The issue I have with the age is not that I don't recognize young people. I  
am young myself and I support free software locally so it'd be silly to state  
that it can't work at the same time. However as a young person I know that  
young people tend to be hot blooded, fight just for the sake of fighting and  
loose the grip of the fundamental ideas, treating them as some minor details  
in the way of having fun.
Therefore I was curious if you meant young as "the new generation to take  
over" (which I find OK and even important) or just young so that they make  
the freedom cool enough for others to give a damn about it.
I don't think freedom is "cool", nor do I think it should be advertised as  
such.
