I hadn't seen this before: https://github.com/ddol/rre-rms/blob/master/rider.txt

I am going to quote some aspects of it, and I swear to god these are verbatim things I have read in emails from colleagues/clients.

I do NOT use browsers, I use the SSH protocol. If the network
requires a proxy for SSH, I probably can't use it at all.

For reasons of principle, I am unwilling to identify myself in order
to connect to the Internet.

here's a lot easier thing to imagine: stallman is a sad man who has spent decades alone in a one-room "apartment" that is also his office, and he drinks in secret at night and pretends no one can smell it on his breath

in everyone else's view, his b.o. is so overpowering no one wishes to speak closely enough to note his breath

he takes his computer out at dinners with colleagues to do email when nobody is talking to him

edit; someone at the table asks sarcastically "oh I'm sorry would you like us to be quieter for you"? softly, he responds "its ok, there's no sound anyway"
