I see lots of Assange dislike from people, and i'm constantly reminded of misappropriated quote: "You want someone who does what i do, but you want him to behave like you."
It takes a certain type of personality (and a certain type of mania/insanity) to run against the odds/world like he did.. We should accept that if it comes with some rough edges, thats kinda the price for it.
Even if there are arguments over wether or not he is "a great man", it is clear that he has achieved great things, and sometimes the people who do also have great flaws..
