That's... quite tasteless, really.

I believe JWZ was the first to link to the Free Software Song with the text [why cooperation with RMS is impossible](http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.html), expressing a similar sentiment with more erudite snark.

Although I agree he can be difficult to get along with, I appreciate the movement he began and benefit from it daily in the form of Ubuntu and Fedora, so no complaints from me.

If you have "thoughts" about RMS, kindly post them in a relevant thread instead of abusing the submission system.

At least RMS probably knows that the command is "gunzip", not "ungzip".
