Man rms

Big discussion from three days ago: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7754412" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7754412</a>.

<i>&quot;Whatever, I&#x27;ll just go with the flow.&quot;</i> is clearly something RMS never says.

I attended an RMS speech at the University of Texas many years ago. I recall him heckling students leaving in the middle of his speech. Instead of presuming that they had somewhere to be--an exam, a study session, etc., he called them out and made it look like they don&#x27;t support free software.

&quot;DON&#x27;T buy a parrot figuring that it will be a fun surprise for me.&quot;<p>Noted.

What a level of precision in there.<p>Edit: Wow &quot;Please don&#x27;t be surprised if I pull out my computer at dinner and begin handling some of my email. I have difficulty hearing when there is noise; at dinner, when people are speaking to each other, I usually cannot hear their words. Rather than feel bored, or impose on everyone by asking them to speak slowly at me, I do some work.&quot;

What an affront, the title should be<p>info rms

I don&#x27;t understand how he plans to ever sway people to his views if he requires that all speeches he gives be set up in an environment that is completely supportive of his views.

Too much of a burden to host rms, seemingly.<p>Edit: From the downvotes, I see that hosting someone with a requirements list that&#x27;s north of a bunch of pages is not a burden for most. Still, though, in my book he&#x27;s too spoilt of a visitor.

The sadistic side of me really wants to see someone set up a prank talk and explicitly do everything that Stallman says &quot;DON&#x27;T do this ...&quot;.<p>E.g. People purposefully confusing Free Software and Open Source when asking questions. A broken air-conditioner in his room. Putting avocado in his food. Bringing him breakfast in bed.
