This discussion is both old and a bit odd.
Everybody should decide themselves if they have a rolemodel and who it is. This in itself is a subjective process and needs no further justification. Nobody can say: this is not a good role model for this reason. It's a personal decision. If someone's parents are their role model, why not? After all, they know them very well and they spent many years together, so assumably they know what they are talking about. On the other hand, if someone chooses Thatcher (the old bitch) as a role model, then this needs to be accepted.
My role model are definitely not the PGFT, they are behaving like dictators, do not promote the freedom of free speech (even within the boundaries of the forum rules), do not treat forum users equally or in a fair way and do not display any abilities whatsover to distinguish between abusive language and a different opinion.
