[Richard Stallman]

    It depends on what you consider your main responsibility.  You're
    comptent at a lot of things -- but when I work on persuading people
    to use software that is GPLed, I find that one of my most difficult 
    problems is generally soothing the fear and uncertainty that your
    rhetoric has created.

I think you are focusing your attention on a certain category of
users, business executives.  Perhaps they are particularly likely to
feel "fear and uncertainty" for various reasons, with my rhetoric
being one of them.

Persuading them is a useful thing to do, but I don't think it should
be our highest priority.  It is more important to spread among
individual users a determination to insist on freedom, and not settle
for less.

So I will continue talking to individuals about freedom; and if you
want to focus on persuading businesses to use free software, you can
continue soothing executives.
