RMS is Richard M Stallman (see [Richard Stallman]), a famous
programmer in the [GNU]/[FSF] scene, but not enthusiastic
about Tcl. (See [Who says Tcl sucks...]).

I think RMS is a grand guy.  I think his opinion is based
on experience with a very early version of Tcl.  Richard tends to
consider things in terms of their relationship to GNU, and to
his own concept of Free Software as a philosophical imperative.
Tcl has no particular relationship to GNU, so Richard probably
does not think about it much at all.  ''';^)'''



[AMG]: I don't know what's going on with this page, but it's beyond weird and needs to stop.  Earlier today an edit was made including a link to http://www.majortek.com/ which is a "parked" domain, meaning that the edit was done without actually checking the link.  What purpose does it serve?  This is not responsible editing.



[AMG]: I'm not disagreeing that he's weird, I'm questioning the fact that you're posting invalid links, but now I'm also questioning why you feel the need to say any of this about RMS on the Tcler's Wiki.  What does this have to do with Tcl?


[PL]: Maybe it's time to put this page up for deletion. It's not as if information about RMS is essential to the Tcl programmer.


[RLE]: What seems to be going on is either:

   1) someone's masquerading as pyk/pooryorick
   2) pooryorick's gone mad;

I don't have enough evidence to decide between the two.  But in any case it is a very concerted attempt at wiki spam by someone.

Maybe an IP block of 174.52.22.202, which is where the character that made the spam edits is showing as arriving from.
