"When we argue about who is “more pure” or when we tell people that they're bad or evil because they don't use either the same software stack we do, or use the same terminology we do- then we've lost the point of Free Software, which is to spread Freedom."
Well said @Emacsen, I couldn't agree more. I think it is not a #FreeSoftware thing only, especially in the larger #DigitalRights community I see more and more people fighting within their own peer group about details like why A doesn't value detail X as much as B.
