There is no such thing as free as in beer.  This is one of the dumbest
analogies I have ever heard.  Who came up with it anyway?  Was it the
FSF by any chance?

Wrong.  One spreads propaganda and accuses the other of bs.  The other
calls the bs out and proves conclusively that there is (let me use a FSF
word here) FUD.  Your arguments are stupid and you have been told

out that your arguments are a fallacy.

And you have been told by many that your opinion has no bearing.
Repeating it won't make it so.
