characterization of "Leaders and Saints".
It's rms' *job* to be hardline and obdurate. That doesn't mean that every member of the community should follow him in every detail, all the time. But those ideals have to be there, and they have to be somewhat strident and outlandish -- or they wouldn't *be* ideals.
That said, the Saints should not *be* the Leaders -- we can see the first stirrings of why in US politics right now -- and the Leaders need to be pragmatic, focussed on Getting Things Done while the Saints handle the longterm goals.
