I was sat 1 meter away from Bruce at a convention when Stallman had stood up to interrupt the presentation from some marketing woman from google on a point of principle regarding an error she made in speech about the BSD license). He then turned his ire on Perens and publicly admonished him for his more pragmatic views on something related that I have now sadly forgotten.
I mention only to say i know the kind of treatment Bruce got from Richard as I was in the sightline of the pointing and the high pitched unmistakable loud voice calling him out in a room of hundreds of people.
He just laughed it off with a gesture. He seemed very affable and polite in our brief conversation.
edit a google has turned up someone who took notes including some of the detail i gave above
