Some points are subtle and take a lot of words to explain well. You can't tl;dr subtlety. Also, code has multiple paths and this thread has only one: statement; statement; statement; etc

I think that's a fallacy. It might make them unpopular but it doesn't automatically turn everything they said to dust. Regarding RMS - "even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day".

I'm in no way defending anything in particular RMS or Linux have said, by the way. And actually my original point re: subtlety stands independent of either of those two characters. Sometimes a long post is the only way to communicate a subtle idea.
