If this were about Steve Jobs, these guidelines would be respected - they would show his attention to detail, the importance he placed on clarity, etc, etc. As soon as they're about Stallman - it's because he's weird, a social outcast or whatever other insult people choose to throw at him. People like Stallman are a good representation of the "misfits" spoken about in Apple's iconic advert, though try telling that to the RoR 'hacker' who has declared themself a misfit/troublemaker/round peg in a square hole because he decided to use Coffeescript rather than Javascript in his latest GTD app.
