His stance is that proprietary software is "evil". Why is calling him insane any different than that.

  Him: Proprietary software is evil
  Others: Stallman is insane
Seem pretty equal to me.



How about reading some of what he writes instead of brushing off his ideals? His assertion of proprietary software being "evil" for some very specific values of "evil" are quite valid.

Only fools that don't read his work brush him off so easily; otherwise they'd refute his positions with real arguments.


OK, his stance against minified/obfuscated javascript was insane.
