This is disgusting and a real honest-to-god violation of de Blanc’s free speech rights. Calling for her arrest is downright fascist. Her open letter is not cyberbullying and RMS is a major public figure who should reasonably expect public criticism. Public criticism of public figures is not cyberbullying. If the author really thinks it’s defamation then that’s a civil case. Instead the author is using the threat of state violence to try to silence a critic. This is Taliban-level stuff.
It does take a certain amount of gumption to defend RMS’s “free speech rights” by trying to arrest someone you disagree with. I wish I could say these people are hypocrites, but they know exactly what they are doing. Speaking personally: it’s a lot worse to be arrested than it is to be kicked off the board of a nonprofit!
