I can name at least 10 people that I find more suitable than RMS, including: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Sandler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Sandler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_M._Kuhn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_M._Kuhn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bdale_Garbee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bdale_Garbee
- WesolyKubeczek 6y agoGarbee looks like he could be it (he's a programmer, not just an activist), but I'm wondering if he could continue the philosophical work of free software with the same kind of vigor, like the commentary on new tech trends through the freedom lens that RMS has been doing. If there was one single reason RMS should remain in any function at FSF at all, it would be his writing as a philosopher (being a jerk is actually a plus in this case, cf Diogenes). I myself probably would wish RMS to retire honorably in time and contribute with writing. Would end well for everyone involved. Doesn't make the smear campaign any more justified, against fucking anyone.
