   Honorary doctorates are meaningless fluff, and a mockery of the real   
   credential.   
      
   Taylor Swift (pop music) and Missy Elliott (crap music) have honorary   
   doctorates.  "Doctor Swift"... what a joke.  "Doctor Elliott" = bigger joke.   
      
   Stallman's code contributions (primarily to gcc, glibc, gdb and emacs)   
   are nice, but even so: that code, a 'copyleft' license, and cloning Unix   
   aren't achievements worthy of anything but 'Thanks!', and certainly not   
   an honorary doctorate or hundreds of $thousands in awards.   
      
   Only a dick-sucking lackey like Feeb would believe Stallman is 'great'   
   and deserves to be called 'Doctor'.
