So, let's be precise here. Exactly how many people have lost their lives at the hands of the FSF's "zealots"?
Amusingly, but tragically, you're using personal derogatory terms to condemn the very people who tend to be first up against the wall when revolutions come - the people who say "non serviam", the people who don't just take everyone else's word for it, but stand up and do something to ensure the opposite point of view is represented.
Perhaps before screaming "zealots" or "Maoists" and frothing at the mouth yourself, you should consider exactly why you are so offended by people who have done precisely *nothing* to limit your freedoms - indeed who have, by standing up and pointing out why they're necessary, done a great deal to ensure you still have them.
(Your display of gratitude is, regrettably, all too common.)
