He can be arrogant and eccentric and I am not a fanboy at all, I am much more pragmatic in my views. But his fiercest detractors are much worse.

But I somewhat agree that people that criticise Stallman should be vetted closely as many of the accusations were very dishonest.

I agree that the FSF shouldn't tie itself to an individual, but the behavior of his distractors seem personal and much more "problematic". He has a strong opinion and isn't a people person, but that is certainly not a problem.

We don't really need unqualified market researchers that believe they know what some blurry target group might want to support.
