All of these statements are arguably orthogonal to actually leading the FSF. I would in fact argue that such rigid consistency is actually a serious detriment, as it explicitly lets the perfect become the enemy of the good. > I'm afraid, for this reason alone quite a few people get to think that if you consistently apply software freedom principles in all parts of your life where you use or produce software, it must come with the baggage of all other flaws of RMS's character, complete with questionable hygiene habits and abrasive personality.
