While you do have a point, I disagree strongly with the way you've expressed it. There is no need for name-calling and personal attacks on this board.

Calling someone a "nobody" and a "big mouth bozo" is uncalled for.



He is extremely agressive and out of place, calling for a split on a major organization he didn't help in any meaningful way and feeding the hate [sentiments of a particular faction of users] against it. Also,

He was a member, and while his member number (5030) isn't low enough to argue that he helped found the movement, he did explain that he has advocated on behalf of the FSF for quite some time. I too think his post was a step too far in the wrong direction, but saying that regular supporters of the FSF, long time contributors and everyday members don't "help in any meaningful way" to the FSF is a tad bit disingenuous.
