It is interesting that Stallman has been expressing very harsh opinions, unpopular among many people, for decades. Nothing happened to him, on the contrary, he was well respected even among people who did not share his political views and who were frequently on the receiving end of his criticism. But as soon as he dared to veer a little from the party line in one particular question, he has been unpersoned in literally couple of days, despite all apologies and attempts to explain he didn't really mean any heresy. I guess that shows who you can disagree with and who would really hurt you if they even suspect you might disagree (even though you don't).
