Exactly ! He was so loyal to his principles that he put up with a lot of hardship to keep to them , and I can respect that , even if I choose a different path .
Stallman is a genius who founded the EMACS software system. It grew from a text editor into software system that could do just about anything. He became a target of the Lefty collectivists when he questioned the story of Prince Edward, Jeffrey Epstein, and Virginia Roberts Guiffre. I questioned it myself. If one goes through the details of her rape and sexual abuse accusations it is hard to avoid the impression of another Lefty takedown of a prominent male. That they took down a leader of the Free Software movement is an example of the blindness of taking down a contributor to America's software leadership and an example of how the feminist left cares only about its own power, money, and misandric agenda.
He worked hard on keeping "Lisp Machines" Lisp updated with the features of "Symbolics Lisp" (under copyright and restricted, some sort of MIT wanting to make money), sleeping under the desk to be able to keep working in the morning and fight the corporate takeover of the language. But he thought lexical scope in a LISP would be too expensive. What a mistake. It's interesting to reflect on the fact that GNU is basically an outgrowth of LISP, actually.
Stallman has said some dreadfully stupid things not related to software. He heard the criticism, recognized that he was wrong and said so. It's crystal clear that he's on the autism spectrum and is incapable of grasping the style of apology that a typical person will be wanting to hear. Attacking this guy now is deplorable.
The irony it is 20 or 30 years ago, he would have been the typical lefty that took up these oddball subjects mostly because of the shock value it got from conservatives. I still remember the arguments among furries, who at one time actually cared not to be related to as being into certain things with animals just because a certain then growing section of the community was obsessed with drawing anthro characters in adult situations. Then there's been the past decade of weebs who have had people freak out as much about their youthful looking anime girls as they do that many of them are Trump supporters. I get it, 4-chan is the dumpster pit of all vile things Reddit used to be (and in some areas still is), but really, cringe is cringe, regardless politics. But Stallman is mostly a throwback to the old hippies. Not necessarily the first openly cringe fringe society group (the Greek cynics, literally called so as a reference to behaving like dogs, had at least a couple thousand years), they were the rebellion to what they considered a whitewashed society of the 50's.

I seen it happen with a local coffee shop chain. Sure, the guy was a felon and registered offender, but that was well over a decade, and having done time, and the guy's clearly been trying to turn his life around and showing some success. But nope, none of that mattered when it came to 'St. George', who inspired the 2020 'summer of love', and naturally, coffee shop employees wanted to wear BLM shirts to work to show their solidarity with their favorite saint. Backlash came when the owner decided it wasn't work appropriate. Sure enough, even after giving an apology and trying to explain how he can relate with St George, the BLM fanatics still wanted their pound of flesh, and used the guy's past conviction against him. All those years of trying to prove he's more than just a convicted felon, poof! Gone because of stupid activists that have no sense of nuance or basic human empathy. Became yet another example of how the left eats itself.
I have an anti-software-patents t-shirt autographed by RMS hanging right next to me. There is literally nothing he could do to make me take it down. He's done so much for humanity.
next? They already lubed up code of conduct with a can of crisco. It'll get worse I'm sure. "Linus said my code was terrible and it made my neovagina tremble so I was raped basically"

It actually kind of freaks me out that this came out immediately after I made that video about how Rust is a political Trojan horse to take over free software projects and capture them for the revolution.
At this point I have to question if these are just lunatics or if somebody or something is behind. Too many attacks and takeovers. That, surprise-surprise, benefit big corpos from have a worse FOSS realm. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if there were several well-paid actors stirring $#!T up by rallying clueless gullible w()kes into attack vectors. (especially easy when a lot of them like to victimise themselves and don't miss a chance to lash out at something or someone for not giving them the attention they crave)
For a nuanced take on this can I suggest Mental Outlaw's video from 3 years ago "My Thoughts on The Richard Stallman Situation." As he says, it's remarkable how people refuse to compartmentalize, but in my own opinion, use that refusal to seek power for themselves to the detriment of everyone and everything. Speaks volumes that they do it from the dark.
@@sillonbono3196 India, China and Russia (truly huge industrial economies) already have official standardized free national versions of Linux suites. They are all already officially phasing out Microsoft software. In fact, now they are all focused on RISC-V open source CPU designs and ditching Intel/AMD/ARM designs. You (anyone) can read about this online. For free. So just think about that. No license fees. None. No copyright payments. None. No lawyers gumming up the works. None. The entire USA population is only 4.2% of the global population. Just India and China together have 10 times the USA population (customers). Other big countries are copying them. For example, Vietnam's population is larger than TX, CA and NY combined. Lots of customers ditching the Microsoft platform. So now, Microsoft is very busy delaying the inevitable.
A web site which explicitly requests a proprietary font ("font-family: Verdana") in its styling. Those who do this evidently are not friends of Free Software or Open Source.
Bill Gates is probably one of the people behind this report. Maybe Bill G wants to see Stallman in jail so he can be conveniently "Epsteined" (right after he does the same to P Diddy).
Dude, I've run into RMS many times when I worked in Cambridge. Yes, he's a weird dude. Yes, he has said all sorts of outlandish stuff over the years. But yes, the modern age, powered by the software you all rely on - is largely dependent on his work, going back to the mid 80s. Do I agree with the things he has said on the Internet or in real life over the years? Of course not, any more than I suggest eating your foot cheese at a lectern whilst giving a speech. But free speech only works if you allow the weirdos to talk too. And apologies for accusations? Any lawyer anywhere, even the fake TV kind will tell you to never apologize for an accusation - that only verifies the accusation. Anyway, leave the poor man alone. Laugh at his follies, but honor him for the software you are probably using right now, or the product thereof, and for the very idea of copyleft as we understand it.
I find RMS is a prime example extreme critical thinking where nothing is out of bounds to be questioned and discussed. The man openly promotes the critique of himself and the FSF so you can make your own informed decisions.
no he means linux. linux is the kernel / core of the os and gnu are some tools on top that although popular there are distros without them. eg alpine. stop saying gnu + linux unless you want to sound dumb.
A lot of this sounds like someone is intentionally conflating Stallman innocently making a pass with the fiction of Stallman forcing himself onto various women. There is a massive difference between (A) forcibly taking what you want from someone else and (B) making the request. If any of these women want to come forward with a story of Richard Stallman cornering them and attempting to physically have his way with them against their will, I'm listening. But if all you have are stories of him awkwardly hitting on women... let me tell you something. Regardless how any of you see the man, at the end of the day he is still a man and there is such a thing as a biological imperative. There is a reason it isn't illegal to make a pass at someone, and it shouldn't be. The pass isn't where the problem starts. The problems only start when the "no" answer isn't respected. Show me he failed to respect a "no" and then we can talk. Until then, piss off.
Even if multiple females came forward with stories of him forcing himself on them, I would assume they're lying. I'll always believe an autistic man over some narcissistic sociopaths.
The German green party internally discusses the legalization of a lot of this controversial stuff on the stallman report. This can be read in their library. But they are the party of the media so they are safe.
Interesting that they chose to remain anonymous whilst hitting a man who is already down. Also what a surprise, they want to force them to adopt their CoC.
The thing is, to go after him is to go after the El Gee Bee Queue agenda. We're just not allowed to say it. Number one covers the reality of that agenda. It's how they reproduce.
I dont care what stallman has said outside the realm of software. I disagree with him on everything besides software. I can put that aside and agree with him on software. You dont have to agree with everything a person says to agree with them on one important point they have said. He is still the face of free software and should lead it and nothing anyone says can change my opinion about that. Besides that, everything he believes in has always been publicly stated on his website, it's not like any of this is new or that he has tried to hide it.
Why publish this in 2024? They never say. There's barely any new material from the past several years, certainly none worse than the previous 20 years.
Regarding homosexuality transgender and whatever else, there is NO SUCH THING as a phobia of any of these! No one in his right mind has an abnormal or unreasonable fear of homosexuality etc. They simply object to the belief and action!
Stallman is really a hero of mine. I met him and he is in my opinion a good person. He has been a target from Machiavellian people because he's an easy target, sometimes very cynically. I think it's hard to describe to people who he is to online ideologues. I think he's said those things out of an aspergarian notion of principles more than anything. If this is going demand he's personally and professionally ostracized along with anyone in the minority of fsf that dared defend him from the last much more cynical cancel attempt while being completely anonymous, I can't condone that. I think this might be from redhat who are pathfinders in taking Linux under a corporate umbrella and also hyper moralists that would drop the word transphobic and nonbinary. I don't like this type of aggressively underhanded behavior.
honestly so what if that's what he believes? what impact would any of that have on software? does code suddenly work worse because of the opinions of whomever wrote it?
@@oraz. I'm on the same page. He's welcome to believe anything he likes, and if he keeps it separate from the philosophy of free software, everybody can pound sand about it.
@@nopenoperson9118 I'm not on the same page. I disagree more strongly with the premise of what his beliefs are being presented as, rather than saying they would be okay in some pragmatic sense.
Those activists should either take RMS to court or shut up. Btw accusing somebody of statements that were given years ago despite those statements being well known from the beginning is inherently evil.
You have to remember that the majority of people are idiots, often times scared, angry idiots, so the court of public appeal is doubtlessly one of the worst possible arbitrators of character. I suspect this is at least partly why Richard Stallman is motivated to appear as controversial as he does. If that is in fact the case, I highly respect him for it.
*Information wants to be free.* None of what these people are saying is having the effect they're hoping. If you want to get under a horse and spread cheeks, I don't care. If you want to film it and post it on the internet, I don't care and I'll laugh if I run into it. *This "paper" only makes me support Stallman more strongly.*
Stallman is hippie and autistic. His moralism is purely utilitarian, but also prevents him from being ideologically possessed. So while he's very leftist, he's not useful to ideologues. It's no surprise the ideologues want him gone.
It literally doesn't matter if everything in the "report" is true; the fact that the authors are unwilling to put their names to it discredits. And if we do somehow figure out who the authors are, they should be scorned, riddiculed and deplatformed for being the eggregious trolls they are.
Personally I might not agree with all of Richard Stallman's views, but I do find his thoughts intriguing. And I believe, as a nihilist, slandering and ostracizing a person because of his eccentric socio-political beliefs is a direct threat to free speech. The one who wrote this report is perhaps one of those self-proclaimed "social justice warriors" with no social life at all.
thanks for reminding me to donate to FSF. i think i’ll add a couple more bucks to the dono this time around.. hope stallman kicks cancers ass .. we need his leadership in FSF in the new AI age .. now more than ever
Because they have no power and talents. The same thing happen in IT Industry and Gaming Industry. Please check about Kim Belair. They even don't have any shame black mailing someone or company.
The reasons they are trying to get rid of Stallman is because he is SO staunchly advocating for FOSS being FREE and OPEN. This is in direct contradiction to their end goals. One of their end goals, which they will make clear soon, is to rewrite things and taken legal actions against forks with wrongthink. EEE - This is part of the extend portion of the strategy. Fork 'em.

It started 2019-09-16: _Remove Richard Stallman - And everyone else horrible in tech_ by "Selma G." (a self-described "mixed woman of color" apparently a robotics engineering MIT graduate back then). After 11 pages of talking about how Richard needs to be removed because he is so deplorable and how everyone should force change: _For everyone who has ever been afraid to speak out about seemingly powerful people, consider for a moment that maybe they do not know what real strength is. They have existed in a system designed for them, circles of power that benefit and never question them, while you may have had to fight your way into those circles. Maybe they are not even half as strong as you are_ Yes. Richard is the pinnacle of the patriarchy. On 2019-09-20, Steve Sailer then presents commentary on the Selma's output from _Riverside Green_ in _And Then They Came for Richard Stallman_
RMS is one of the few people who actually reflects about his own political beliefs, and logically makes a case for his positions. I'm pretty much on the opposite end of the political aisle, but I can't say that he's ever been disingenuous, he'd rather say something socially unacceptable than try and weasel out a more palatable "normie friendly" compromise that doesn't fit with his own logic. I feel like that is the source of a lot of these dubious statements. If people who come from a similar fundamental set of beliefs as him set out and evaluated their own positions logically, they would come to much the same conclusions.
22:10 They just platformed Stallman by talking at length about him. I encourage them to consider writing an apology for their conduct. And if they have a spine, they should even put their names on the apology. I don't expect any of this to happen, of course, so they can go back under their bridge and troll themselves.

stallman is a philosopher at heart. if he’s off putting to you, that’s understandable. but you can still contribute and be appreciated and feel good about yourself without ever interacting with him.. his views on things other than software are completely irrelevant. this hit piece is so petty and sad. hope people realize what’s happening here and see through the emotional manipulation going on here and ignore this site. yes stallman is not perfect. no one is. but his personal thoughts has nothing to do with open source software.

I can't agree with Stallman's once-stated views about sexuality. Quite the contrary, in fact. It seems to me that he was brainwashed, perhaps targeted by MK-ULTRA or similar institutions. Indeed, those criticisms of Stallman are valid. That being said, his legacy as a free-software nerd cannot be understated. 1980s: Boycott of proprietary software (Apple, Xerox). 1985: Boycott of Apple for restrictive software licensing. 2001: Protest against the DMCA at the White House. 2004-2005: Protest against software patents in the European Union. 2006: Defective by Design protests against DRM at Apple stores. 2006: Protest against Microsoft’s DRM practices. 2010s: Protests against SOPA, PIPA, and internet censorship. Ongoing: Advocacy against proprietary software in schools and public institutions. He set all these protests up, and like it or not, we have Richard Stallman to thank for all of these victories. Perhaps Stallman needs to check his morals when it comes to societal matters, but when it comes to software, he was and remains, correct.
@@conelord1984 You're right. Free speech exists for a reason, and he is free to say it, just as I am free to criticize him for it.

But I digress.
@@baronarcanus9111 I couldn't care less about what you think it is important to criticize, my friend, but you have the right to do it as much as you wish, regardless of how wrong or malicious you are. No child was molested BECAUSE of Stallman, neither did he molest anyone.
23:10 - nor should you. No man should comply with requests or demands to apologize. Doing so is insincere. If one is truly disgusted at one's actions, then perhaps an verbal or written apology is warranted. Otherwise, the only apology a man should ever have to make is that which he shows in his actions. And then only if he feels he has genuinely done wrong. See, I apparently offended the owner of the business I worked for up until about 2 weeks ago. The owner's wife told me I should apologize. I will not be spoken to like I am five years old by someone whose only function for the business is as a co-signer on checks. I walked out right then and there. If the owner had a problem with me... he should had taken me aside, confronted me directly. Like a man.
See they do this boycott not when Stallman stated those things but Just around this time in 2024 when AI is about to be a huge deal soon and just before WWIII
I think we need to establish a new Open Source license, one that projects can re-license to if/when the GNU gets destroyed/undermined. Establish an entirely new open source hardware/software/protocols/API ecosystem to work around the wokesters and corrupt tech companies.
Seems like Richard Stallman has some social anxiety issues and is now being politically weaponized by those cabals. As someone who also suffered social anxiety, this news gives me even more anxiety.
Totally called it. I've had my runins with RMS and he's definitely not someone I wanna hang around with but this call to remove him from the FSF is absolutely an evil power grab.
If you can't even quote the guy's ideas on software, then you're taking those ideas out of the conversation. The Apostle Paul wasn't a pagan, & he wouldn't advocate for the Greek or Roman religions, but he'd still quote from their philosophers to point out the bits they got right or wrong. Forbidding relevant quotes when you disagree with the source on other issues is wrong.
Some people have been saying it might be Drew DeVault as one of the writers. Past hatred of Stallman by him and according to someone on OpenSource Reddit "the IP address for this website was temporarily the same as the IP address for Drew DeVault's website. Both are also using the same Hugo framework." Could be a coincidence but if you're investigating it may help.
He's just reasoning in some sensitive areas. Some of his opinions I find misguided, some interesting. I wouldn't say such things in his place exactly because it could be used instrumentally by malicious people the way it evidently takes place here.
well, they are running out of time, so they had to publish it now, if things keep their course, everything they are accusing him of will be legal in 5-10 years :D

It's obvious that the people who wrote this hit piece gain more pleasure from cancelling and destroying people than from tinkering with machines and creating cool stuff.
This is another instance of activists trying to get full control of the open source software "community"
I seen it happen with a local coffee shop chain. Sure, the guy was a felon and registered offender, but that was well over a decade, and having done time, and the guy's clearly been trying to turn his life around and showing some success. But nope, none of that mattered when it came to 'St. George', who inspired the 2020 'summer of love', and naturally, coffee shop employees wanted to wear BLM shirts to work to show their solidarity with their favorite saint. Backlash came when the owner decided it wasn't work appropriate. Sure enough, even after giving an apology and trying to explain how he can relate with St George, the BLM fanatics still wanted their pound of flesh, and used the guy's past conviction against him. All those years of trying to prove he's more than just a convicted felon, poof! Gone because of stupid activists that have no sense of nuance or basic human empathy. Became yet another example of how the left eats itself.

@@sillonbono3196 India, China and Russia (truly huge industrial economies) already have official standardized free national versions of Linux suites. They are all already officially phasing out Microsoft software. In fact, now they are all focused on RISC-V open source CPU designs and ditching Intel/AMD/ARM designs. You (anyone) can read about this online. For free. So just think about that. No license fees. None. No copyright payments. None. No lawyers gumming up the works. None. The entire USA population is only 4.2% of the global population. Just India and China together have 10 times the USA population (customers). Other big countries are copying them. For example, Vietnam's population is larger than TX, CA and NY combined. Lots of customers ditching the Microsoft platform. So now, Microsoft is very busy delaying the inevitable.

Dude, I've run into RMS many times when I worked in Cambridge. Yes, he's a weird dude. Yes, he has said all sorts of outlandish stuff over the years. But yes, the modern age, powered by the software you all rely on - is largely dependent on his work, going back to the mid 80s. Do I agree with the things he has said on the Internet or in real life over the years? Of course not, any more than I suggest eating your foot cheese at a lectern whilst giving a speech. But free speech only works if you allow the weirdos to talk too. And apologies for accusations? Any lawyer anywhere, even the fake TV kind will tell you to never apologize for an accusation - that only verifies the accusation. Anyway, leave the poor man alone. Laugh at his follies, but honor him for the software you are probably using right now, or the product thereof, and for the very idea of copyleft as we understand it.
I find RMS is a prime example extreme critical thinking where nothing is out of bounds to be questioned and discussed. The man openly promotes the critique of himself and the FSF so you can make your own informed decisions.
woke cleansing tactics as always, they won´t rest until their targets are buried and they somehow gain clout into their projects.

A lot of this sounds like someone is intentionally conflating Stallman innocently making a pass with the fiction of Stallman forcing himself onto various women. There is a massive difference between (A) forcibly taking what you want from someone else and (B) making the request. If any of these women want to come forward with a story of Richard Stallman cornering them and attempting to physically have his way with them against their will, I'm listening. But if all you have are stories of him awkwardly hitting on women... let me tell you something. Regardless how any of you see the man, at the end of the day he is still a man and there is such a thing as a biological imperative. There is a reason it isn't illegal to make a pass at someone, and it shouldn't be. The pass isn't where the problem starts. The problems only start when the "no" answer isn't respected. Show me he failed to respect a "no" and then we can talk. Until then, piss off.
Even if multiple females came forward with stories of him forcing himself on them, I would assume they're lying. I'll always believe an autistic man over some narcissistic sociopaths.
He's engaging in philosophy but like many intelligent types, instead of relegating his thoughts to appropriate circles, he makes it public.
The German green party internally discusses the legalization of a lot of this controversial stuff on the stallman report. This can be read in their library. But they are the party of the media so they are safe.

Interesting that they chose to remain anonymous whilst hitting a man who is already down.
Also what a surprise, they want to force them to adopt their CoC.
Defend and support Stallman, he is the last true Free software advocate that remains, the wokism must be removed from Free software and open source
The only people who fight "wokism" are not on the side of free software.
Stallman has said some crazy stuff, but none of that has anything to do with his work in software.
The thing is, to go after him is to go after the El Gee Bee Queue agenda. We're just not allowed to say it. Number one covers the reality of that agenda. It's how they reproduce.
Yea his overall views on software are pretty spot on.
I dont care what stallman has said outside the realm of software. I disagree with him on everything besides software. I can put that aside and agree with him on software. You dont have to agree with everything a person says to agree with them on one important point they have said. He is still the face of free software and should lead it and nothing anyone says can change my opinion about that.
Besides that, everything he believes in has always been publicly stated on his website, it's not like any of this is new or that he has tried to hide it.
Why publish this in 2024? They never say. There's barely any new material from the past several years, certainly none worse than the previous 20 years.

Sure RMS is a weirdo but programming in Lisp will do that. There's only so many parentheses a man can take and keep his sanity 😁
Stallman is really a hero of mine. I met him and he is in my opinion a good person. He has been a target from Machiavellian people because he's an easy target, sometimes very cynically.
I think it's hard to describe to people who he is to online ideologues. I think he's said those things out of an aspergarian notion of principles more than anything.
If this is going demand he's personally and professionally ostracized along with anyone in the minority of fsf that dared defend him from the last much more cynical cancel attempt while being completely anonymous, I can't condone that.
I think this might be from redhat who are pathfinders in taking Linux under a corporate umbrella and also hyper moralists that would drop the word transphobic and nonbinary. I don't like this type of aggressively underhanded behavior.
honestly so what if that's what he believes? what impact would any of that have on software? does code suddenly work worse because of the opinions of whomever wrote it?
@@nopenoperson9118 That's not my position. I just don't think he even does in the way people are implying.

Sweet Baby finished with games, and started with FSF
You have to remember that the majority of people are idiots, often times scared, angry idiots, so the court of public appeal is doubtlessly one of the worst possible arbitrators of character. I suspect this is at least partly why Richard Stallman is motivated to appear as controversial as he does. If that is in fact the case, I highly respect him for it.
*Information wants to be free.* None of what these people are saying is having the effect they're hoping. If you want to get under a horse and spread cheeks, I don't care. If you want to film it and post it on the internet, I don't care and I'll laugh if I run into it. *This "paper" only makes me support Stallman more strongly.*
So I have just read a few references listed and there is nothing special about it, he is hyper rational and it seems that people do not like it.
Yeah basically. They dislike someone talking about controversial topics purely logically.
Stallman is hippie and autistic. His moralism is purely utilitarian, but also prevents him from being ideologically possessed. So while he's very leftist, he's not useful to ideologues. It's no surprise the ideologues want him gone.
The FSF should only be concerned with software.
the wokism must be removed from Free software and open source
It literally doesn't matter if everything in the "report" is true; the fact that the authors are unwilling to put their names to it discredits. And if we do somehow figure out who the authors are, they should be scorned, riddiculed and deplatformed for being the eggregious trolls they are.
Personally I might not agree with all of Richard Stallman's views, but I do find his thoughts intriguing. And I believe, as a nihilist, slandering and ostracizing a person because of his eccentric socio-political beliefs is a direct threat to free speech. The one who wrote this report is perhaps one of those self-proclaimed "social justice warriors" with no social life at all.
Social injustice harbingers.
Then they should make their own projects from scratch instead of using their tainted work and ideas. Case closed.
It's always easy to tell someone is a bad actor if they don't respect Stallman.

The reasons they are trying to get rid of Stallman is because he is SO staunchly advocating for FOSS being FREE and OPEN. This is in direct contradiction to their end goals.

After 11 pages of talking about how Richard needs to be removed because he is so deplorable and how everyone should force change:
_For everyone who has ever been afraid to speak out about seemingly powerful people, consider for a moment that maybe they do not know what real strength is. They have existed in a system designed for them, circles of power that benefit and never question them, while you may have had to fight your way into those circles.

RMS is one of the few people who actually reflects about his own political beliefs, and logically makes a case for his positions. I'm pretty much on the opposite end of the political aisle, but I can't say that he's ever been disingenuous, he'd rather say something socially unacceptable than try and weasel out a more palatable "normie friendly" compromise that doesn't fit with his own logic. I feel like that is the source of a lot of these dubious statements. If people who come from a similar fundamental set of beliefs as him set out and evaluated their own positions logically, they would come to much the same conclusions.
Here's to hoping the fsf and gnu completely ignore this and ensure their organizations are immune to the crazies.

22:10 They just platformed Stallman by talking at length about him. I encourage them to consider writing an apology for their conduct.

I can't agree with Stallman's once-stated views about sexuality. Quite the contrary, in fact. It seems to me that he was brainwashed, perhaps targeted by MK-ULTRA or similar institutions. Indeed, those criticisms of Stallman are valid.
That being said, his legacy as a free-software nerd cannot be understated.

He set all these protests up, and like it or not, we have Richard Stallman to thank for all of these victories.
Perhaps Stallman needs to check his morals when it comes to societal matters, but when it comes to software, he was and remains, correct.

He does not need to check anything just because you disagree with him. He is entitled to his opinions and it is not anybody's business.

23:10 - nor should you. No man should comply with requests or demands to apologize. Doing so is insincere. If one is truly disgusted at one's actions, then perhaps an verbal or written apology is warranted. Otherwise, the only apology a man should ever have to make is that which he shows in his actions. And then only if he feels he has genuinely done wrong.

Totally called it. I've had my runins with RMS and he's definitely not someone I wanna hang around with but this call to remove him from the FSF is absolutely an evil power grab.
If you can't even quote the guy's ideas on software, then you're taking those ideas out of the conversation.
The Apostle Paul wasn't a pagan, & he wouldn't advocate for the Greek or Roman religions, but he'd still quote from their philosophers to point out the bits they got right or wrong.
Forbidding relevant quotes when you disagree with the source on other issues is wrong.

Some people have been saying it might be Drew DeVault as one of the writers. Past hatred of Stallman by him and according to someone on OpenSource Reddit "the IP address for this website was temporarily the same as the IP address for Drew DeVault's website.
