An OS could be considered an "application", Thus it's very "convent" that you can "recommend" free software on non-free operating systems, but then attack free operating systems that only offer an optional "scaffold" for using non-free software. Richard, You're a hypocrite.. and your values are flawed.. I think you need to re-evaluate your position, and for goodness sake.. use a web browser so you can actually backup your claims.
