Actually, no, I am criticizing RMS over his opinion.

He's supposed to have dedicated his life to such matters as free software.

His arguments towards not recommnending OpenBSD are just a front. They
sound logical, but he could interpret and present things differently.

The real reason he doesn't recommend OpenBSD is because OpenBSD represents
a viable alternative to his political views, and a very loud counter-voice
to the `GPL world'.

I've thought some more about it, and I cannot find any charitable 
interpretation of Stallman's words.

You've got a choice of:
1/ complete idiot
2/ senile old fool disconnected from reality
3/ dangerous political activist with a hidden agenda
