From the statement it is understood that you are defending free software by defending Stallman, and those attacking Stallman are attacking free software.
At best this is hyperbolic, abrasive language that makes bystanders at least complacent as the destruction of free software happens by some "Orwellian" conspiracy. Their statement is perhaps even less hyperbolic than the original writer - which I question why'd you examine the commentator with such scrutiny given the hysteria in the article.
- ttt0 6y agoIt's not just RMS, they call for the removal of the entire FSF board.
- shadowgovt 6y agoAn understandable call, since that is the board which (with no explanation) has re-instated Stallman. An organization's supporters interpret bad leadership as damage and route around it.
- ttt0 6y agoSupporters like OSI, a rival organization? No one cares about Stallman beside people who are already involved in open-source movements.
- shadowgovt 6y agoSupporters like the members of the FSF who are resigning and volunteers who have stepped away from the project in light of this decision. https://www.fsf.org/blogs/executive-director/management-team-members-resigning https://www.fsf.org/blogs/executive-director/management-team...
