In this case, the "dislike", since you are referring to the open letter and the signatures, means "He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic". This is the text that these people signed and this is obviously the main point of the letter, followed by "among other serious accusations of impropriety".
People have been vilified unjustly before (by insiders and outsiders alike) and will be in the future. If there is some actual proof that RMS is "misogynist, ableist, and transphobic", I would like to see it.
Citing his article about pronouns as proof that he is transphobic is kind of insane and more than enough by itself to make the open letter invalid. And this is not the only thing that is wrong with this letter.
