I think we all deserve sources and quotes to back up your assertions.
Exactly what leverage does Purism have over the FSF? Where can we find
these insults of legitimate companies (presumably made by Purism), and what
exact text do you find to be insulting?

I think your point here could use some expansion: is it possible for a
program running on the OS to get data to and from the ME? If so, how is
this different from having an ME work like it does on most modern
Intel-based computers?

What's the URL for this and precisely where on that page would we find this
implication? Please do quote the exact text.

This pseudo-footnote is not good enough. Your desire to not increase their
search ranking doesn't free you from an obligation to back up your point.
