I think a lot of this discussion about RMS is because most people forget about freedom respecting software activism most of the time. They don't live eat sleep and breathe it 24/7. Every time a RMS news article comes out, or he is embroiled in some controversy, then people find the time and energy to gather on these lists and discuss him again. The only problem is, it doesn't necessarily lead to new and more effective freedom respecting software advocacy strategies.
