An anonymous hit job that reads like it was written by Ehmke. We should give this any credence because…?
It looks pretty well cited to me. The fact that it was written anonymously doesn't really take away from that.
It really kind of does. If the author is so ashamed of the work that they won’t sign it, that speaks volumes.
This would only really make sense if they were trying to throw around the weight of the authors, which they clearly are not. Who makes these points is irrelevant when it's simply highlighting rms' own words and linking to them directly. Why should I care who wrote it?
