I'm not going to justify what happened to Richard Stallman because I don't want to dig through that history. Maybe what happened to RMS was wrong, perhaps RMS was wrong. I want to challenge the idea that past positive contribution might justify bad behavior.
Past positive contribution should not be enough to warrant continued involvement if their current contribution is toxic. This isn't just about the future of the projects but also about honoring their past contribution. Toxic leadership is the fastest way to undo previous good works.
