I can't help but note you conveniently glossed over the fact that his continued bad behavior is directly harmful to the cause he's trying to lead. RMS is an actively detrimental force in the Free Software movement. He's a complete and total liability who hasn't made a substantive contribution to anything in 20 years. It's like people are purposely blinding themselves to the fact that if your cause is represented by a lunatic, it's less attractive than a similar cause led by someone who doesn't eat their toejam while giving a lecture. You have a person lacking even the most basic of social graces, who's consistently rude and unpleasant, who makes really gross comments about women and pedophiles, and this is who you think should be the public face of the movement? Why not literally anyone else? If the Free Software movement wants to be taken seriously, perhaps it should take itself seriously.
