Crazy? Probably yes.
But we all owe RMS because he serves as the radical counterbalance to closed source interests.

We need a RMS, whether we like him or collectively agree with his opinions.

Why's he running dad? _Because we have to hate him. _He didn't do anything wrong. _Because he's the hero Open Source Software deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hate him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. RMS.
