I've known him for decades and he's always been an asshole. He did  
some great early programming work--Emacs and gcc--and he came up with  
one Great idea, the GPL. He's been coasting ever since and he should  
have been eased out of the FSF years ago, but he had fans who think he  
can do no wrong.

There's an effort afoot now to get rid of him. I have a story coming  
out RSN on this issue and the attempt to move him out.
