You're right on your last point however the way he initially reacted didn't add anything to the story. It was the nervous reaction of a man who realized the trip he had spent days organizing was being called off because of one individual.
Having personally met RMS and knowing other persons that have the same type of condition, I would say that those people need some respect in the way they handle emotions and other social artifacts.
Simply throwing a verb doesn't give enough depth for a correct understanding. In that regard, it's disrespectful.
Whoah, wait, what condition? I wasn't aware that Stallman had any condition that would cause him to react that way. I even just posted a comment that touches on that topic. I hope I didn't just sound like a jerk picking on someone with a mental/emotional disorder I didn't know about.
You mean the second comment on the actual article page? I did. It mentions how distressed he was and why he was distressed but mentioned no condition. We are talking about a medical condition, right? I'm sorry, if that's not it then I might need it spelled out for me. If that is really it then I still think it was a little bit of an overreaction. I can definitely relate to being that upset but to be punching yourself in the head and carrying on that way where others can clearly see you is strange to put it nicely.
