The only part of your "critical thinking" I'm not imitating is that
I'm giving you a chance to prove your point, instead of blindly
repeating the facts as I think they are.

I'm perfectly willing to believe that Stallman advocates theft. I've
seen him in action socially, and have firsthand accounts of his dating
skills from my kids godmother. To anyone who knows him, an expedient
lie is clearly possible for him. On the other hand, I don't think he
would extend that to libel, which you apparently have no problem
doing.

As a final note, my stance on copyrights dates from the publishers
attacks on our rights before the publication of the GNU manifesto and
the founding of the FSF. You are wasting your time trying to influence
me demonizing Stallman.
