Even back in the day I think Stallman being a bit more normal would have helped a lot in making the free software movement more appealing. I do appreciate the militancy though.
It's quite a known fact that Richard is an eccentric person that only few wish to understand. Sometimes his actions and/or words were inappropriate in the moment but he's also shown to be a good person able to change, unfortunately most don't work in good faith and only care to remember Richard as this "weird" guy without further understanding.
Oh and he can be really stubborn on just about anything.
She's not that wrong, the FSF has been pretty successfully been painted as "the smelly radicals" by the "moderate and reasonable" liberals that are on the open source side and that honestly fucking sucks.
Despite all the great work they are doing they offer little pushback to these shit people. My best hope is that the FSF endures against all this and the winds of history mercilessly swipe all of the garbage put on it, they are correct in this struggle after all.
