From what I understand his actual views aren't that horrible. But it's almost as if he goes out of his way to write things in the most provoking way possible.

From what I understand his actual views aren't that horrible. But it's almost as if he goes out of his way to write things in the most provoking way possible. Stallman is an activist, the kind of person that intentionally provokes outrage to make a point and bring issues to discussion. The bizarre part of all this saga is that he's being attacked by exactly the same kind of people using his very same tactics. It's like some of those Godzilla vs Kong movies. Honestly I don't find this funny. But I don't care about it either. I had not heard much about the FSF last decade.
