I just want to clarify, I agree that stallman is right a large amount of the time, but it's just the delivery and the extremes that he will go to that I can't get behind 100%.

But perhaps this is just more reasoning why the battle is a losing one -- people like me are just going to think things are gray while the people who are right are trying to convince us of the fact that it's black and white. It's just too hard for people individually to see past their own blindspots.

I think he simply forgoes more modern conveniences than most of us, but I think there are still a lot of people, especially older people, that do it without even thinking or talking about it. I think he just seems extreme because he happens to be in the computer industry while rejecting a lot of what it has enabled.
