I am also very fond of Stallman, but we need to recognise that he had as many lovers as he had haters. He may have pushed many outside of the free software movement in fact because of his character.
I still think that the FSF needs a strong character with a clear vision, man or woman, but maybe with less orthodoxy than RMS.
Again, I appreciate that you found him inspiring. The point is that not everyone does.
Everyone can develop their own personal leadership too instead of looking to others and judging leadership.
If that were true, the world would be a lot better than it is in general.
It is not about being "like him", he was just some fat old man with a big beard and I remember thinking he probably smells pretty bad. What was broad and inspiring was his vision and leadership as an human.
