The link to `problematic character` is an open letter to remove RS from FSF's leadership position: https://rms-open-letter.github.io/ https://rms-open-letter.github.io/
That open letter then stated that:
```
Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as RMS, has been a dangerous force in the free software community for a long time. He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety.
```
Without providing actual facts or links to external sources.
Anyone mind to provide a bit more context on RS' behavior problems?
- mirashii 4y agoThe article has a whole appendix documenting these accusations with links and citations.
- josteink 4y agoFinding an instance where RMS has gaffed up really isn’t hard. That he is to create controversies is pretty much expected of him nowadays. Kinda like “Oh it’s nothing. It’s just RMS being RMS”. That said, that petition was an unsubstantiated SJW attack on a person of principle, over some FSF-internal personnel-matters where the “offended” party really didn’t have much offence to show for. In fact the petition was so unsubstantiated that it resulted in a counter-petition which quickly outranked the original petition by a factor of 6. This site attempts to provide a more correct picture of these matters: https://stallmansupport.org/ https://stallmansupport.org/
