It is not enough to be "right" to promote a good idea. You need to be a charismatic leader to succeed at FSF's mission. Independently of whether RMS is an intolerant creep or a misunderstood visionary, I do not think it should be difficult to see that he would not be an efficient evangelist for FSF today.

On the contrary, what the FSF needs is precisely a leader that does not compromise his views in order to win the popularity game.

I think you are missing the point I was making: If you can not inspire others to action, it does not matter whether you are right, because you will not make the world a better place by simply being right.

The FSF is already beyond useless. They don't "need" anything as they don't accomplish anything. It's just a cult of personality around RMS at this point. It's beyond redemption.
