Given that the free software world struggles to resolve the relatively simple moral conundrum of whether or not licenses should require people to share, adding another layer of moral and ethical concerns on top - around the idea of trying to define good and bad uses for software - is a heck of an ambitious problem; as such there's a lot of good arguments for and against a candidate who wants the OSI to pick up that work.
It's unfortunately that the esr clown show has derailed that with the ravings of a man who, quite to the contrary of one of his sayings, doesn't contribute much code and won't shut up; and the rather than introducing any cogent or interesting thoughts on the topic, has simply sprayed abuse around like an out-of-control honeywagon. The OSI will be a great deal better off for his absence.
