Yeah man. I was actually talking to this with some Free Software advocates...and they TOTALLY saw it that way too.

Many, Many, MAAAANNNY in the Free Software world that want to engage business feel Stallman is their worse enemy because he cannot tailor his message to the audince he's addressing.

I'm on the "good" side as it were, but looking at it from the other side, I see those pieces as mean, kind of offensive and really "lording it over the lamers" at the same time.

I suppose that someone that believes in the socio-political sides of it (I certainly do) might not see that that isn't the best approach to take, because if they are super-passionate about it like Eric and many others are, they can't do the attachment thing need to move out of the "Vinegar" slot.
