Who used it like that? Stallman's comments happened outside the organization, the tweet was from someone I think unrelated to the project. I can understand keeping other ideals out of the project, but in context you're telling people not to express other ideals.
- themacguffinman 6y ago> the tweet was from someone I think unrelated to the project Seems fine for unrelated Twitter randos to say whatever they want about RMS, but would be distracting and counterproductive for GNU/FSF to permanently ban RMS in support of Twitter randos' unrelated ideals. I never said or implied anything about stopping Twitter randos from expressing or doing whatever they want.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoI was asking you who used it as a vehicle... as the two people directly being discussed had not. I did not think you were trying to stop random people on twitter. I think you're answering that GNU/FSF used it improperly but am not certain.
- themacguffinman 6y agoYes, the people working for GNU/FSF started using GNU/FSF to punish RMS in support of other ideals. Twitter randos may have talked about it but it's up to the GNU/FSF to focus & act on it.
- RangerNS 6y ago... in the name of the organization. And RMS's "pleasure cards" listing his office address and organizational email certainly indicate that his private activities are the organizations activities.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoYes, he should have been reprimanded for using the organization's name to make a bad joke seemingly decades ago.
