I agree with you here. RMS is an archetype. We need that 'crazy uncle' figure to keep us from complacency.

I start to taper off from the gentleman when he asserts that his neat logical conclusions preclude the possibility of other conclusions. Only a Supreme Being would tote such potency. The FSF's goals are one set of legitimate goals among many. Labeling other goals 'unethical' does not, of itself, render them so.

I seem to have the most trouble with some of his assumptions. If you could offer an alternative conclusion given his assumptions, that would be quite notable and noble IMO.
