And incidentally, Stallman writes things like (on his excellent political newsfeed):

“Please don’t accept the invitation to post your statements of
Atheism (or anything) on YouTube.com. That site is designed so as to require proprietary software (the Flash player) in order to view anything. If you want to post a video, post an Ogg Theora file on your own site.” http://www.stallman.org/archives/2006-nov-feb.html

Nope, nothing purist about that!

Does it ever occur to people who take positions like this that most
computer users have neither the time nor the inclination to get so
deeply into things?

Oh yeah, not to mention that they don’t want to shut themselves off
from stuff like YouTube for some obsession masquerading as a
principle? It’s not like you have to pay for a Flash player, either.
