Over the past 2 decades the FSF has become increasingly ineffective and out-of-touch and RMS is a big part of that. From reading recent stuff from FSF and RMS about this whole situation it seems clear to me that they’d both prefer that everyone go back to begrudgingly putting up with his poor behavior so that he can travel and give talks.

Spot on. I’ve met him and a lot of people I know and trust have been around him at conferences. In 20 years I’ve heard only complains about his public behavior and I’ve witnessed various example of that.
I’ve never heard anyone claiming that RMS is evil or malevolent, but rather unable to act appropriately around people or understand what is socially acceptable, despite having been told many times.
