RMS's personal behavior over the past 35+ years has clearly demonstrated he does not care about other people's feelings. He is rude and insulting, and when this is pointed out to him he becomes defensive and digs himself in deeper.

Look at the whole Epstein mess he got himself into. He said something that was obviously offensive and when people criticized him for his he didn't apologize, he just insisted that he was right and what he said couldn't possibly be offensive.

This isn't anything new. Look at his response from 1993 to a colleague who announce the birth of a new baby. http://www.art.net/studios/hackers/hopkins/Don/text/rms-vs-d...

I think its fair to say his capacity for empathy is severely lacking and that has a profound impact on the ideology the FSF advocates for.

RMS has spent his life advocating for a very particular right - the right to free software. I'm not sure he cares about other rights, like disabled people's rights to access technology, when they are in conflict with his preferred core right.

What makes you think that? Do you have any evidence to support that or is just a gut feeling or something?
