That's weird, I have the exact opposite impression. Are you sure we're talking about the same guy?

Everything I've ever read or heard from RMS sounded extremely consistent, logical, common sense and down to the earth to me.

I always thought that people don't like him because he's stating some inconvenient truths about proprietary software and because they are pissed that they cannot use GPL'ed software for their closed-source, proprietary products.

To me, RMS is basically a modern reincarnation of Socrates.

The fact you don't understand the other guy shows that RMS is about politics muuuuuuch more than about software
