Why? I had several communications with Stallman. Based on other people's opinions, I expected a total weirdo, whereas he was always kind, respectful and and always very reasonable. What struck me was that when faced with a problem, he was genuinely trying to find a solution. What was shocking to me was that I expected he would shove his opinions up people's throats, but the opposite was true. During one conference one guy got heated up about licensing and cried "No, I don't agree with you!" Stallman looked at him calmly and said, "That's fine, you are you, I am me, we are different persons, there is no law that says we have to always agree on everything."
