If Stallman wants to speak, he shouldn't be allowed to. I have always found him to be such an unappetizing human being with his holier than thou attitude that even when I agree with what he is trying to say, I am annoyed. Imagine what people who don't even understand the issue think when they're confronted with him. His radicalism hurts the cause because he tries to make everything into some sort of quasi-religious debate. That is the wrong approach as it won't stand up against the argument from the other side of the aisle - namely an argument based on faulty logic, faulty studies, and further incorrect data. The arguments need to be made using someone with an ability to speak rationally and discuss something in a civil manner. Stallman can do neither of these.
