I am perfectly aware they are strong words (and sorry if I had to use them) but if I have differentiate the 2 point of views (between yourself and Jonas) I am inclined to say I see more compromises and flexibility in Jonas's side:-)

You kinda reminded me RMS with your article and perhaps that is why I used those words because I am aware of his views (even discussing between free software and open source software) and it wasn't difficult for me not to notice the radicalism in the article. Don't think I didn't read, noticed the examples you refer to but still...

And again, mine is a point of view, a simple expression and the way how I can achieve a freedom to ultimate freedom.

To answer your last question, no I definitely don't feel everybody who lived successful life before computers were extremists. I can't answer for facebook as I don't have any knowledge nor a profile on that platform. But forgive my ignorance in this regards (I am slow to understand) I feel like I didn't catch the hint in your last question.

I feel that using a word like extremist or dictatorship is a bit strong.

My blog does actually include examples of compromises, otherwise I have simply tried to describe how I personally choose to live and how I feel about that.

Do you feel that everybody who lived a successful life before computers or Facebook were created was an extremist?
