Well said.
What’s the back-story, anyway?
a series of serious accusations of misconduct led to his resignation

believe he was removed as President with good reason.
Is that because of the
things he’s said and done that are distasteful towards women
?
Or was there another reason to remove him?
(I am very out of the loop)

“allegedly”.
Supposedly on his blog there is no bad attitude towards women at all, quite the opposite.
There are people who searched it.
He is uncoruptable like Sokrates. Probably the real reason.
The misstreated women is used over and over to stir up drama to remove uncorruptible people.
The uncorruptible part is clearly why every single company are against him.
They fear loosing power to good free opensource software, that does not sell people lives.
This what appears to be a storm in a glaswater drama just makes me trust him even more to be a genuine person.
And I don’t know much about him.
That makes sense. But if there really is a conspiracy, there will be evidence of it too. That’s the kind of thing anyone can research and find the evidence for … if it’s real.
Okay so it’s not that he was doing a bad job or that they found someone else who would do a better job, and it’s not that he broke any explicit FSF rules or refused to obey an FSF rule.
It’s thought-crime, essentially. He had strong and unpopular ideas, sany people disliked him, so he’s bad for the FSF’s image.
But you could argue that that kind of creativity, the inclination to ignore convention and forcefully invent and argue for your own vision of that world - that’s a requirement for the job of leading the FSF.
I haven’t had time to start doing my own research about him (given how influential he was in the course of 20th century history) but I will.
I think I’d like him. He sounds great. I must listen to his lectures (or interviews or whatever he does mostly)
Cancel culture isn’t a real thing. Look at the man… he’s not fit to look after himself, let alonr represent a movement.

Bullshit. Where was the transparency when they decided unilaterally to bring a child-abuse apologist back on the payroll? That shit came out of nowhere, which is why the whole board is being held to account.
It’s a shame that despite his very wrecked state of mind regarding some issues, FSF actually hold some believes that I actually support. The four freedoms including the zeroth is actually a fundamental concept that should be used when developing a software.
His personal blogposts, while rightly controversial, and sensitive, have, like any work of philosophy, simply the form of a thought experiment, if understandably an uncomfortable one. That doesn’t necessarily mean he endorses all of the expressed views. Since Plato philosophy has pondered/raised questions of mortality. Besides being misquoted, I see no primary evidence that RMS actually endorses what he’s being accused of.
of course. the FSF and even RMS himself are great, but he is not suitable to represent the movement as a leader.

I would be more happy with that
Och, bunch of bullies ganging up on the weird kid.
Yeah, it is sad to see “inclusive” people rallying against someone who is clearly autistic, for liking to argue semantics at wrong times.
I would support anyone’s ability, neurotypical or otherwise, to express their opinions without a having a witch hunting rabble demanding their employers fire them.

uphold stallman thought
The FSF has been a waste of resources for decades. They fundraise all day just to send some poor bastard in a GNU costume to Windows release parties. Seeing them choose Stallman as their hill to die on just cements how useless they already are.

Speak up publicly. Did you use your own real name in the support letter? You should.

Power in numbers. We can’t stay forever in the closet. Cancel barbarism is plain wrong.
One can speak whatever the hell they want as long as it is not racist, xenophobic or provoking crime
But misogyny is where you draw the line?
Oh come on, nice work twisting the words in their mouth.
Also I’m curious where Stallman has been openly misogynistic, as opposed to just socially clueless.
Not twisting anything, just pointing out the hypocrisy in the quoted text.
Also I’m at work, so I won’t dig in his past behavior on the internet for you now, but I am not the only one mentioning this stuff, which also had a part on RMS’s resign years ago, so there is little reason to still bring his misogyny into question today on 2021. Guy’s a boomer with some outdated boomer views, but being a boomer doesn’t excuse him for not updating his views.
