DuelDuelPosted Dec 6, 2006 19:05 UTC (Wed) by jimmybgood (guest, #26142)Parent article: Of hypocrisy and the FSF (Libervis)
If Richard Stallman is a gentleman, he should challenge this dylanknightrogers to a duel. He accused the FSF of being "something of a hypocrit", which shows that he neither understands hypocrisy nor can spell.
It is not hypocrisy to make a recommendation that is not appropriate for ones own needs. For a desktop environment, I recommend to Linux neophytes KDE or gnome, whichever is default for the distribution. But I use fluxbox for a number of reasons including my experience with Linux. Were I to be an avid KDE afficianado, but recommended gnome because I have some investment whose value depends on the general adoption of gnome, that would make me a hypocrite.

Duel Posted Dec 8, 2006 0:38 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] No, please, no duel: many hackers have bad coordination and I don't wantto take the chance of having RMS offed by some random luser.
(I have snarfed that second sentence for my sig :) wonderfully put.)
