To a lesser extent, I find RMS to have similar traits. Some of his statements carry quite the air of arrogance and self-importance, but I think he's done enough for caused that I really believe in that I'll always listen to what he has to say regardless of personality.

Don't get me wrong, I support some of the initiatives as well, I just wish those initiatives had a less self-interested leader.

People who are less self interested do saner things with their life than take up idealistic causes.
