RMS stood for a world where we have the right to know and modify the code that runs on our machines. A world where we have the freedom to access ideas and discuss them. He battled for decades to protect the freedom of you and me, and he asks nothing in return. He was such an unfailing bulwark against the forces that would deprive us of our rights that his name is practically synonymous with the free software movement. He took a position in a discussion you disagree with, so you're OK with him being removed from his organizations and his name dragged through the mud. Your argument stands for a world where people deserve to be stripped of their position because they expressed an opinion you disagree with. Even if you're completely 100% right, how do 'indefensible opinions' get challenged if they cannot be expressed? How do any of us learn or improve? Has anyone taken a moment to think, what comes next now that he's gone? I hope for your sake and mine that the accomplishments of the GNU and FSF will be enough to keep us free.
