I had the chance to meet Richard Stallman on Friday. He was speaking at the NA-CAP conference at which I volunteered. All in all, very interesting, and last night I ended up joining the FSF.
Call Stallman what you will: ideological, dogmatic, unwavering, stubborn, whatever. You have to give it to him that he is completely and totally dedicated to his cause. I think this is admirable.

I agree that it is admirable, but only to a point. Suicide bombers are completely dedicated to their cause as well.
That said, I’m not comparing Stallman to a suicide bomber. I just think that sometimes things might end up going smoother if he would be a little more flexible.
