You’re the first comment I’ve seen that has the same view as me. I don’t know why so many people worship that guy. Same with RMS. Both of those dudes give me the creeps even though I often hold the same or similar views on their areas of specialization.

Someone, long ago, once told me: “There’s always going to be someone on your side that you wish was on the other side.”

I didn’t realize how true that would become until years later.

A) don’t worship him

B) just know about his right to repair work

C) don’t know anything negative about him, nor has anyone provided any evidence he is a bad person and just attacked his character.

Now you have to defend yourself, from a lower position.

See how those people work? now they are assigned themselves the moral high ground, and you have to justify yourself.

Dont do it. You did nothing wrong, those guys are bullys.

You know what gives me the "creeps"? People looking for character flaws and projecting them onto the entire person.

There is a guy on "my side" who acts as if people like me are extreme radicals from the "other side" and you sound like you want to ride this slope downhill as hard as possible. At some point you will only focus on the bad things these people have done, after all you're not watching his videos, just hearing it from biased third parties and you no longer care if it has any semblance of truth to it or not.

I do not worship this guy. I don't even watch his videos. I probably don't even remember what he looks like.

Maybe because we listen those guys for the useful information and we don't think with our reptile brain that "give us the creeps"
