So? That is conversation between people, they were discussing, in any
conversations people discuss and exchange opinions. Do we want to
start kicking people if they don't agree?

25.7.4 Aborting a Program

Future Change Warning: Proposed Federal censorship regulations may
prohibit us from giving you information about the possibility of
calling this function. We would be required to say that this is not an
acceptable way of terminating a program.

There is definitely no subject on this planet about which one cannot
make jokes, so what you need is little education on the subject of
free speech, which is beyond this mailing list.

Finally, what you want RMS to be, pro-feminist or contra-feminist?
Like if you and other people wish to shape RMS, why don't you make a
clear list how you want RMS to express himself, as that could be more
fair, rather than judging thereafter.

Let us start controlling other people's opinion, if they don't tell us
what we want, we will snap their fingers.

LOL!
