A point that I'm not seeing raised enough is that Stallman's current job is nowadays almost purely evangelisation and PR. He is a public figure. In that context, fired is more than fair. His image being linked with pedophilia (on top of the other issues he has) makes him a really bad choice for the public face of a movement/foundation. If he was, say, a lead engineer whose work was not tied to his image, we could have an argument - but that's quite clearly not the case.
