I've noticed a pattern on these groups of late. Andrew posts something,
Warp pounces. Usually pointing out what Andrew doesn't know.
Has someone painted a big red target on Andrew's back?
I have to admit, I knew who Stallman was, but only vaguely. Since I
don't really follow GNU or GPL software closely, it's not really
something of extreme import.
I am interested in how the Wikipedia entry Andrew read conveyed that he
was/is a psychopath and or sociopath.

I'm beginning to wonder. It seems I even get flamed IRL...

Oh come on, it's not only Warp. We all like a bit of flame throwing now
and then, I guess.

Only for things that are readily available in Wikipedia and those that
are part of a standard education in this field.

I think it is more subtle than just undirected flame throwing. I am
afraid this group has taken some sort of responsibility to educate our
mascot to face real life. Ok, I haven't seen much progress...
Which reminds me, we haven't had a progress report on his love life for
some time.

Because just like Andrew himself he knows about computers?

Actually, thinking about it, I expect it's because Andrew doesn't really
interact with anyone else. I mean, why *would* you know who Stallman is
if it never came up in a conversation? No more reason than to know where
Brazil is if it never came up. (I'm sure there are countries in Africa
I don't know about that are newer than the last time I had a high-school
geography class, for example.)
On the other hand, Andrew *does* talk with people here, and if he
agressively persues the "I don't need to know that" idea, I'm not sure
it's entirely isolation at fault.

Himself.
If you write somewhere *a lot*, then you are going to get noticed and
remembered. That's the problem with writing there a lot.
The outcome of this depends on what you write. One problem with him
is that people in general are not all that interested in other people's
personal lives. A few interesting points can be interesting, but if you
use the forum as your personal blog, continuously writing about mundane
things about yourself and your life, people are going to get bored, if
not even annoyed. The more you continue doing this, the more the situation
will escalate. If you continue doing this even after someone politely
gives you a hint that this forum is not your personal blog, the situation
may escalate even further.
Don't get me wrong. It's not like it's against some etiquette rules to
write about your life and personal experiences. Most people do that.
I do that. However, it's the *amount* of doing that that is relevant.
Don't overdo it. Don't consider a discussion forum to be your blog.

Out of a genuine desire to help, I'm sure. But maybe we are too voracious and
constantly bringing up his shortcoming is not the way to help.
Do you take sugar, Invisible? :)

Yes. Too much of it, in all likelihood.
I typically take 3-4 sugars in my tea, and I regularly eat large blocks
of solid chocolate. When I was a child, I used to sneak downstairs early
on a Sunday morning, grab a chair, reach up to the cupboard and take our
the sugar bowl. I would then stand there and eat big crunchy mouthfuls
of white sugar. I kept telling myself I'd stop after one more... but it
was always to hard to stop! Sugar just tastes so sweet and sugary. And
it has a cruncky texture, and it melts in your mouth, and...
...oh, wait, no more blog posts. :-S

I suppose you know that too much sugar in a regular basis greatly
increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in the long run? (And of course
it greatly increases the risk of dental caries in the short run.)

LOL :)
When the kitchen was damp the sugar bowl would have a crust of hard sugar. Hmm!
