No, I do not feel any disrespect to me, and I would not care really,
as we are far apart and there is no practical influence.

But to use the GNU mailing list, to divide the GNU, and to use the GNU

disrespect and bad manner.

So what, it happens for last 500,000 years ago.

Sorry, I don't find it excused or justified. You are using the gnu.org
email address given to you by RMS, to speak about the death of RMS in
a jokingly manner. No, I don't find it well.
