Somebody mentioned first "stubborn". In my opinion word stubborn in relation to RMS does not describe his character well, as stubborn is according to Wordnet dictionary: tenaciously unwilling or marked by tenacious unwillingness to yield -- while other synonyms could maybe fit better, maybe such as "uncompromising" or others, I cannot find better word. Stubborn is is not accurate enough.
