Yes. They concluded that working in communities that wouldn't tolerate people like RMS was more important than working on free software.

- ratww 7y agoThis is a disingenuous argument. I work on some free software projects and most people don't even know who RMS is. There are multiple Free/Open Source software associations, projects and communities to choose, all with different people working on them, some of them don't tolerate such behavior. If none of those fit, people can just create their own and choose who to associate with.
- zzzcpan 7y ago> They concluded that working in communities that wouldn't tolerate people like RMS was more important than working on free software. This is clearly a fabricated justification. But if such people were to actually exist they would not participate in the free software movement either way due to misalignment of values and ideologies.
