Uh, no, Tim. Miguel actually explicity approved the usage of the word
"freetard", directly comparing it to "chickenhawk".

In reply to Hadron, I believe:

They are the internet version of chickenhawks.
Not only they do not contribute any code, but the noise and propaganda
they produce actually slows down actual development and advocacy efforts.

It is equivalent to be called an "anti-american" by Bill O'Reilly. If
you are their target, you are doing something right.
As I said, a really eye-opener, and a /hell/ of a way to treat your
customers.

What do generic references to occasions where I did not respond to posts
containing vile words have to do with a case where a well-known open-source
programming explicitly compared "freetard" to "chickenhawk", with the
implication that OSS users who don't contribute code or money are the moral
equivalent of "chickhawks"?
Reread the whole thread. Incredible words from a famous OSS programmer.
Also, you'll note some solid argument from chrisv, who was the victim of a
recent attack by the trolls, who claimed all he did was curse:
>>> It's why they are calls "freetards".
>> They are the internet version of chickenhawks.
Oh. My. God. Joining with "Hadron" in attacking FOSS advocates.
>Wow. Miguel has no objection to Hadron's use of the phrase "freetards".
Yet he objected to "Micro$oft", which, apperantly, is an indication of
"extemism" and that my world seems "filled with darkness and hate".
>Hell of way to treat your customers!
We've learned a lot about *this* guy, today...
I now await Hadron to apologize for the slur to Chris Ahlstrom he made in
his response to Tim's post.
