The Party of Gno
If something doesn’t work, try something else. That’s a lesson that the FSF needs to embrace, if it wants to succeed with a mainstream audience. Being the Party of Gno, and trying to tell users to just avoid Windows, Cloud Computing, iPads, and proprietary software isn’t cutting it. It’s time to come up with credible alternatives or be satisfied with remaining irrelevant to the majority of users.

Very very very well put! It’s exactly what I am trying to tell some people over and over again. Maybe someday they will get the point.

you may find this interesting: http://www.the-source.com/2010/06/more-anti-free-software-spin/
as well as the linked articles.
Interesting as in “typical, the original article confirming, hate talk.” Yes.. it’s extremely “retarded” and “idiotic in every sense of the word” to try to help the FSF with constructive criticism and an opinion that was built from a view from the outside. Stupid me.
The author was trying to help the fsf with his point of view, because he likes the goals and ideas of free software. I can think of things more “anti-fsf” than that. This reaction just confirms what the article tried to point out. Sad. Really sad.
