"The GNU project is about providing freedom to
people who need it, not *deliberately* harming people's lives with insecure
software just because they use closed-source OSes."

wait so let me get this straight....
1. use close source operating system
2. somehow actually believe you are safe, secure, private. (big no no!)
3. believe that because icecat is better (yet not good enough) that people are being harmed more by using icecat, than harmed by the closed source operating system
4. don't blame the closed source operating system
5. blame icecat

that's not nice :(
