The only proof that is, is of a quite acute case of trying to fit
facts to imagination.

Anyone who reads that link:
 a) sees Stallman didn't "start" any thread
 b) sees the content is not related to "GNU/Linux vs Linux" naming
    but to a fake GPL4
 c) sees that you're trying hard for people to believe it's proof
    just because it's a link and don't follow it to verify
 d) then concludes something fishy is going on with your intentions.
