His pedantic personality is unbearable to me.
He held a talk at my university recently. During the QA, every time a student asked RMS a question, he would spend 2 minutes correcting the formulation of the question, and then dismissing the actual question with a snarky remark.
For instance, one student asked something about RMS being the "CEO" of FSF, followed by snarky remarks by RMS that "FSF is not a company and that he is actually the president".
(I might remember wrong, but it was something along those lines)
I understand and respect him and his beliefs, but his personality just annoys me.
