I attended an RMS speech at the University of Texas many years ago. I recall him heckling students leaving in the middle of his speech. Instead of presuming that they had somewhere to be--an exam, a study session, etc., he called them out and made it look like they don't support free software.

Yeesh. This is what happens when you let pure ideology drive your actions. Logic and sense goes out the window.
I attended an RMS speech at UT years ago, too; and I don't remember this happening at all. Are you sure it was "heckling"?
