"Zealot" is derogatory and inflammatory. If you're not a native speaker and
didn't know that, now you do. If you don't want to be accused of insulting
people, it's your task to not do so; if you do, you do not have any such
"right" not to be told so. (It's disappointing that you respond in this
tone in response to Don's forbearance.)
OK; "zealot" was not the most appropriate word and forgive me for that.
The answer to Don's was in order to clarify my opinion; it was
interpreted as an insult while I would have liked to say, without
insulting people, that "the idealogy of some people is in my opinion
have become excessive to the point of being harmful to free software". I
think that the tone of this message is OK.
It's true that I am not a native speaker so I may not have have used the
exact tone in my message but I think that a non native speaker like me
can also participate in this discussion.
To answer, Patrick remark; a search in this list will show you that I
have considerably discussed and defended my opinion even if I do not
agree with most of the posters.
