In theory I'd agree, but in practice people criticizing RMS were just hopping on the latest witchhunt train, all in the name of "inclusivity", which is just extremely hypocritical when people outside the norm are exactly the ones you should be protecting, not trying to get them kicked out. So I can very much understand why the FSF would want to keep their distance.
That's not to say you can't criticize RMS, quite the opposite, but that criticism needs to be focused on his position in regards to Free Software, not the person and I really haven't heard much of that.
- p4bl0 3y agoMy concern is not even so much with RMS himself but with how the FSF revolves around him. The FSF as a group need to not be so tied with a single individual. A "bus factor" of one is not admissible for such an important mission. Also, the FSF should be able to have someone on the board who will be able to criticize RMS if need be. Even for just that they're not ready.
- fzeroracer 3y agoIt's impossible to criticize RMS now because the cult has fully hardened. The moment anyone does, even if they were on the FSF, you will see the warriors come out with swords and axes ready to commit war against them. That was their #1 mistake when they brought him back and now it will forever plague their mission.
