Stallman, I had this man as a host in my house in Spain as part of a free software convention many years ago and I could tell you that he is one of the worst mannered person I had met in person, and that conclusion was shared with the entire LUG that had to organize it.

I appreciate what he has done with the GPL, but when speaking he could do a disservice for the community.

Something as simple as talking about "Linux" will make him crazy, as he will force you in a rude way to use GNU BEFORE Linux, always despising what Linux Towards made(and this thing called Hurd was going to be way better). As he talked it become obvious that he saw his role as more important than everybody else.

He has "command and control", "you are with me or against me" mentality.

One day, someone is going to have to fix autocorrect. It's batting 0 for 2 here.
