I'm not going to put words in Eli's mouth.

But yes, I would call extremist to anyone who thinks that Eli, or
Jason, or Lennart, or myself, are unethical for using non-free
software, for working on non-free software environments, or for
"wasting" our time trying to help people to use free software on those
non-free environments. That is a pretty extreme worldview. If you
agree with that viewpoint (I think so, but I'm not sure and I don't
have the time right now to reread the whole thread, so excuse me if
I'm misinterpreting you) you're an extremist IMO. That's not the same
that thinking you're an idiot, blabbering or otherwise. I do not think
so.
