You seem to suggest that it's an insult to say that people who are interested in free software will follow the person that they think is the best leader, i.e. they're orcs following the strongest. Then you follow it up with a demand for the passing of a magic torch.

Orcs are pretty cool characters. Lotr orcs are more brainwashed, but Warcraft orcs are cooler and explicitly say that they only follow the strongest. So comparison of the FSF sympathising developer horde to orcs is not an insult.

I’m just observing that the FSF needs the magic torch to be passed on to the next generation and doesn’t believe in organic leadership changes at least at the top level.
