Who're "we"? I don't think "we" - at least not all of us - are as quick as you are to place people in neat little labeled cubbyholes. There's no reason to categorize someone as a crackpot simply because he or she adheres to RMS's - or anyone else's - ideology. Everyone has a right to his or her opinion. I did not write off RMS because of his ideology - though I disapprove of it - but because of the way he is promoting it. Specifically, what I find most distasteful is his lack of respect for differing opinions and the disdain with which he treats anyone who does not see things his way.
