Irritation over the most dishonest FReeper, ever. Are you ready to admit to your proven lies and apologize to those you've libeled?
Here's some more details on that freakbag leftist you keep trying to stand up for, from another interview:

Richard M. Stallman: For many years, there hadn't been any patents on surgical techniques. Then some people started applying for such patents, claiming that such patents were necessary to encourage innovations in surgery -- which is obviously false, because surgeons have been eager to make innovations in surgery without patents. But any time people start introducing patents into an area, they ask people to suppose that no progress will take place without patents. And the power of right-wing ideology is so great that they will get many people to believe those suppositions even in the absence of any evidence for them.
LinuxWorld: Why do you call it "right-wing" ideology?
Richard M. Stallman: The idea that creating new kinds of "property rights" invariably makes society better is a classic right-wing position. Many conservatives have blind faith in it.
