This is extremely uncharitable. If you would ask him if he is "pretty okay" with anything of what you accuse him, he would likely be shocked that you think that about him. And if I had access to every internet discussion you ever had or mail you ever sent, how much "problematic" stuff would I find?

RMS comes from a different libertarian and egalitarian world, which is sadly vanishing, the world of electronic bulletin board systems, usenet, the early internet culture, where you could discuss anything freely, sometimes playing advocatus diaboli to explore interesting discussions or line of reasoning. This online culture is changing (or already changed) sadly and political correct feelings are counting more now than logic and arguments.
