This is the first time I've ever seen that quote. I would note it is evidently anonymous hearsay.
- lettergram 4y agoIt also sounds like a joke and gossip. I’m sure RMS could be like that, however having spent some time with him —- I didn’t see anything like that. He was frankly more interested in his laptop and food than people.
