It's like it was still 1980 around him. To me, freedom also includes choosing what I feel like and what I desire, and allowing myself to move with the times rather than against, instead of fooling myself that I strike a blow for freedom by tethering myself to the floor in every single question. All he does is putting restrictions on himself (and in the process also on other people who blindly follow his fundamentalism) rather than removing restrictions and bonds. But that's just me and where I draw my line.

I highly doubt that anyone blindly follows Stallman. Stallman acts as a living litmus test for open source. His actions seem less ridiculous in technical realms where freedom and privacy are more easily attainable and more ridiculous in areas that it is not.
