Evidently Matt is either spamming RMS’ comments without attribution or has ghostwritten RMS’ email to linux-elitists.

Hey Matt, you’re full of it. You were encouraging people to book MULTIPLE Genius Bar appointments. And what exactly will this accomplish, hm? Geniuses have zero control over policy, and when Grandma can’t get her laptop fixed because some neckbeard is at the Genius bar asking questions that the AVERAGE CONSUMER DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT, what do you think is going to happen? The FSF loses even more standing in the public eye. You don’t like Apple’s DRM? I have a perfect solution: DON’T BUY THEIR PRODUCTS! It’s that simple! You talk about fighting DRM, but it’s obvious that you’re pretty clueless about how the real world works, because this will have zero impact. You think Jobs will cave or even care about this kind of “pressure”? You’re utterly clueless.

Even better, John Welch weighs in as Matt Lee seems to have spammed his blog too.

I didn’t actually use the term ‘Denial of Service’ but this is exactly what it is. Shame on you and whomever concocted this hairbrained scheme.

The general public hasn’t heard of the FSF. Now they will, and in exactly the wrong tone. Instead of thinking that you’re freeing them from the shackles of an oppressor, they’ll hate you for it.

Utter stupidity.
