I used to work in ITS looking after a few token Solaris boxen, and played a hand in inviting Stallman down to campus one year in the early-mid 2000s. I had pizza (appiza?) at Yorkside with RMS, and "Three Davey Gs" (my boss (Gewirtz), Graeber and Gelernter).

Graeber was anything but shy that afternoon; he and Stallman were at each other's throats, embarrassingly so. I don't recall their having fundamental philosophical differences… it was just a clash of personalities, I guess.

Being _by far_ the most junior person there, I felt incredibly uncomfortable.

That sounds like a great party story you have there! (at least, having seen RMS live once, I can imagine how "great" it went)
