it's not about his thinking, it's about his public image and how it reflects on the FSF. he's controversial, and a controversial leader is exactly not what the FSF needs

Media prints what it is paid to print.

If truth is controversial, be it. We're with RMS.

i'm not saying RMS is wrong at all. all i'm saying is that if the FSF wants to reach more people, a certain amount of pragmatism is required. RMS, his ideology aside, has a tarnished reputation. the FSF should keep his ideals of course, but have a new champion, one who more people can identify with and who doesn't have all the baggage that RMS has

Baggage, lol! Yes, I agree with you that RMS is less pragmatic. He requires things to be just as they would ideally be for the transition.
