I detest Richard Stallman, probably not justifiably because I respect the work that he did 20 years ago, but cannot stand the man's absolutism today.

However "I can speak in English, French, and Spanish." surprised me, and I see him in a different light, strangely.

If you want to get to know him a bit better, read his (freely licensed) biography: http://static.fsf.org/nosvn/faif-2.0.pdf
