No, I'm not. I've consistently said that I don't care much one way or
the other about Mono, that I use F-Stop and Tomboy. If there were
better alternatives (and as a photographer with thousands of photos,
there aren't better alternatives than F-Stop for Linux), I'd use them.
I don't program in C#, and I've got no interest in learning to. So, if
you want to claim otherwise, you're going to need to show your work.

In fact, the blog post that you refer[1] to takes issue with an
attempt to interfere with my employment which the "specific anti-Mono
individual", Roy Schestowitz, both condoned and was aware of, based on
digitally signed email from him. My disagreements with Roy have
nothing at all to do with Mono, but with Roy's tactics in pushing his
agenda, as the blog posting makes completely clear. Roy's multiple
failures in the comments to explain what he _really_ meant and
_really_ said speak for themselves. Badly.

I'm guessing that this is a fairly chronic thing with you, Homer.
Although this will doubtless cause you further confusion, you may want
to consider that folks like Celeste Lyn Paul[2], Matthew Garrett[3]
and Chani Armitage[4]--none of whom are Mono users at all, all of whom
were actually at GCDS--have taken strong issue with Stallman's remarks
as well.
