All the same, here's a quote about him (lifted from wikipedia) that I agree with.

There's something comforting about Stallman's intransigence. Win or lose, Stallman will never give up. He'll be the stubbornest mule on the farm until the day he dies. Call it fixity of purpose, or just plain cussedness, his single-minded commitment and brutal honesty are refreshing in a world of spin-meisters and multimillion-dollar marketing campaigns.

There's plenty of good about Stallman, no doubt. But you can be the stubbornest mule on the farm without being insulting.

And I find name-calling and posturing to be in conflict with 'brutal honesty'.
