My point being that, once RMS found he couldn't hitch a ride on the Linux
shooting star, turning the Hurd into more than vapor became a priority. The
utter failure of people to adopt his preferred name for the Linux system
merely drove the point home. (The only people who use the incorrect term
GNU/Linux are those who were already worshipping him, or those who want
somethiing from him and are willing to use it to satisfy his petty demand
for recognition he doesn't deserve.)

I don't need to hang out here to see excuses to point out RMS's delusions of
godhood; those abound everywhere his words are printed.

Besides, watching the Stallmanites squirm when holes in their logic and
consequences of their religion are pointed out is just too much fun.
