Indeed.
I've heard a few descriptions of RMS - most of them uncomplimentary. Having met 
him, I can see why many people dislike him - he does come across very much as 
the stereotypical geek with no social skills (mind you, me writing that does 
involve a certain amount of "pot, kettle, black" - fill in the rest !)
I can understand his POV, though I'm very much in the pragmatism camp and use a 
mix of free and closed software. But, I respect his position - and I respect 
the fact that without people like him, we would not have the freedoms we have 
now. That's important to remember.
