"I respect the concept, but I am pretty sure Stallman is crazy and has been for some years," writes. "I don't mean like 'wild and revolutionary in his viewpoints,' I mean like crazy. Every time I read an interview with the guy, I cringe. This is actually one of the better ones."
One Reddit commenter accused Stallman of hypocrisy, saying "I spent a couple days with rms... a couple years back" and "he definitely has an (old school) cell phone, and uses it." For the record, Stallman was using a cell phone when I interviewed him, but it was one that he borrowed from a friend.
Sure, cell phones can be used to track me. But who would want to?
My favorite comment came from a Redditor named Frukt: "Let them track me. Must be the most boring job on Earth."
"There is no reason for the FBI to have any interest in me," a reader on Slashdot wrote. In response, a commenter named Hazel Bergeron writes, "You are probably less relevant than RMS. But there are many powerful interests which would have interest in tracking and eavesdropping on him, so his argument is sound."
