Let us be reasonable and deal with thoughts (where appropriate) rather than the personal habits of someone (unless he is trying to push personal habits). More than a few of the ideas Stallman has pushed have come into wide acceptance, and some number of the things he's warned about have come to pass (or made a good stab at it). So his ideas have had a demonstrated merit, which - in my mind - makes them worthy of thoughtful consideration. Let us not parrot mindless bashings or equally mindless fanboyism.
