Hero Worship has no place in operating systems or business. People are held accountable for their actions.

You don't know what you're talking about. What you call "Hero worship" is what we call respect for people who contribute lots of value.
You're less than that, and so instead of trying to rise to that level you attack them. That's what you are.

You're less than that
More than you, though

You quite literally just proved his point.

No, I really didn't. He ran and attacked everyone who replied to his post even to the point they threatened to ban him, then wants to talk about not attacking people who contribute. It's ridiculous.
It's also a very immature sentiment. People are held accountable for their actions. That jock who rapes a girl SHOULD go to prison for rape - even if he is the best quarterback the school has had in a while. When it comes to business, you are held accountable for your whole image - not just the work you do

I concur.
When did everyone get so easily offended. Grow a spine.

Hitler and the Nazis gave the world a shit ton of useful medical knowledge, they gave us rocket science, and they gave us the Porsche.
That doesn't make murdering millions of people okay.
RMS has made some very important contributions to computing. That doesn't make his shitty behavior towards other people okay.

You're really not qualified to speak on any of the things you commented with.

this is a lame argument. doing "great things" doesn't insulate you from responsibility. by the same logic we should all ignore the fact that hans reiser killed his wife since he made ReiserFS

You failed to understand. Re-read the first paragraph.

without expecting dime-one in return
linus is paid by the linux foundation to work on linux and RMS is basically a sinecure. get over your weird religious mentality towards these people - these are human beings, not gods.

Now.
But he created linux for free in his bedroom.
Again, you people are not qualified to talk about these things, clearly.
You're simultaneously missing the entire point of the post, and validating everything I said.

It's not like I have any opinion on the topic, it's just that what you wrote is really fucking weird.

Wait, what? That post was absolutely relevant to r/linux, as it covers a subject that is raised almost on a monthly subject in r/linux.
The post is either not considered on topic, or may only be tangentially related to the r/linux community.
I've defended your decisions in the past but clearly you're full of shit here. Congratulations, sinners go to hell. I don't know why you people throw out your futures for these moments of powermongering but it's not going to effect me at the end of the day.
You will see, 10x more than me, that your actions were not worth it.

All I see here is you insulting people.
Do you want to be banned?

All I see here is you insulting people.
Some people deserve to be insulted.
Anything RMS related generates reports every few seconds.
That's amusing
It's clearly off topic.
Because it generates reports? So you're saying the rules and "on-topic"ness of subjects in r/linux are determined only by the noisiest of complainers?
Bullshit man, it was a good post and offered perspective that newbies and young people need.

I really hope this is just satire
No it's absolutely not that. Y'all need to know your rank, as my fam would say.
