[ale] OT: Does involve Linus

[Michael Campbell]

Linus *occasionally* doesn't offend people.  RMS seems to revel in it.  His
message is basically sound, but his delivery is offputting.  (To wit, his
rants about saying "Linux" vs. "Gnu/Linux"; it just comes off as petty and
eye-roll worthy.)

And, since I'm proud of this, I say this as an EFF.org member.
