Maybe your dad wasn't such a great person for other people except you though.

Maybe I would prefer my kids being more like RMS than me or your dad or you.

What you want it's irrelevant.

> who bully, cajole and generally act like obnoxious arseholes

he's been bullied all of his life, because he never conformed to any norm.

And there are people like you keep doing that.
