I think it's fairly clear he's not at insanity yet.
Yes, the man is a proper ideologue, in a way that most of us will never be about anything. But even in this list, he mentions using computers with non-free BIOS options, accepting trivial-case non-free Javascript, and otherwise conceding to basic common sense. He even acknowledges that he'll use totally closed software in incidental contexts like a library computer!
He goes much further out of his way than most of us would, certainly. We all have standards for 'acceptable inconvenience', and his standards would drive me mad. But even Stallman isn't practicing the kind of zealotry those examples imply.
