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.
