I wish your comment was higher. You describe her personality quite accurately, based on what I know. That being said, "borderline crazy person with no fear of consequences" is the exactly the type of people that can push humanity forward.

Richard Stallman is another example of such a person, I think. You have to be an extremist to make other players in the field to yield.

Yes, I guess you can do that comparison with Richard Stallman if you are willing to disregard what they stand for ("free as in freedom" vs "glory to Motherland").

What about "¡Viva la Revolución!"? Stallman was an ardent supporter of the Chávez regime in Venezuela. It took him some years to realize that Chávez was, to put it mildly, kind of a dick.
