I also believe so.

RMS was bullied because of his approach to things outside computing and
liberty thereof.  Though some of his thoughts I disagree with RMS does a
great job leading the free software movement.  Those that say RMS is too
extreme shall consider how the FSF and the movement would be without him
and other "extreme" people.  Should people here be neutral or soft-line
and accept the use of proprietary software when not absolutely necessary
(i.e. by law, which is problematic here in China and many other places),
the free software movement wouldn't have continued to this day.
