I can't take stallmans free software as the definition of free 
software... but rather a list of philosophies that are according to 
stallman.. on what software should be.. therefore stallmanism rather 
than free software.

The first time I heard cult mentioned was when people were complaining 
about open bsd being a cult of open bsd followers, or mean rude cult 
members.

I turned the tables and called GNU/FSF a cult later on, weeks later.

I can find the archives for this... and many OpenBSD people and third 
party people could find evidence showing OpenBSD was called a cult way 
long ago... But we'll/I'll never convince anything to you since we just 
keep going back and forth.. trolling. The only difference is that one 
person is trolling truth, and other person is trolling denial of truth. 
Both trolls are wasting bandwidth.. some trolls are truer than others.

As I said.. if you manage to become unbrainwashed.. you will thank me 
for my therapy. Until then you are forgiven.

If you think I am part of a cult.. prove it...
I've given lots of evidence of GNU being a cult... all the descriptions 
on the pages fit very well.

Me? I work a software company.. I work on many operating systems... 
OpenBSD, Freebsd, ,Windows, Fedora, debian.  I am not focused on 'one 
true way' like a cult is focused... I do not donate all my code to a 
foundation who keeps my code under their reign... and I do not lock away 
my code to a figurehead...

The one advantage of the GNU cult is that you can escape the cult by 
just deciding not to participate in GNU any more. But that is true with 
any cult.. there are ways to get out of any cult if you try and find a 
way. It may be difficult in some cases to get out of the cult.. but just 
because you can escape the cult doesn't make it not a cult. i.e. one 
cannot argue GNU is not a cult since GNU doesn't force you to 
participate. no, cults can still be cults even if not forced.

Also, try the sense of humor too. It can get you out of stressful 
situations. I still love you Rui.
