I've interacted with RMS on a few occasions, and my impression has always been he would not hesitate to confront anyone, regardness of any of their identifying characteristics, for any reason he deemed suitable. I tend to think this is as it should be, except that his threshold for when it's OK to confront people needs some rather heavy-handed tuning. Despite that I mostly agree with his message, I would characterize 100% of those interactions as negative. He is coarse sand paper, and a taste I would prefer not to acquire, much like every other SJW type I'm aware of having encountered (since such awareness has generally been imparted via similar behavior). -- Derek D.
