      Who else is on the board of the @fsf? Let's see - Bradley M. Kuhn @bkuhn_ebb_org, Kat Walsh @mindspillage, and Alexandre Oliva https://www.fsf.org/news/alexandre-oliva-joins-free-software-foundation-board-of-directors …. Not much info on them. But who knows?! Maybe these folks will do the right thing and get rid of Stallman.

      It's up to you, folks - you're the board of the @fsf. You can keep Stallman and alienate everyone else, or you can do your job. #cancelstallman @bkuhn_ebb_org @mindspillage @makoshark @gknauth @HenryPoole

      Like clockwork, a @fsf board member, @gknauth is up in my mentions demanding "proof." YOU are on the board. YOU are responsible for investigating. Yet YOU are in my mentions making other people do your homework for you.

      Dear @fsf board members, If you cannot remove Stallman from your board, your only remaining option with any moral integrity is to resign. We’re all waiting. We see you. And we’ll see what happens. @bkuhn_ebb_org @mindspillage @makoshark @gknauth @HenryPoole #cancelstallman

      Richard Stallman is the reason I didn’t start contributing to open source (then called “free software”) in the 90s. I’m not the only one. He and his followers pushed out a whole generation of female developers, just at that critical time when open source adoption was widening. https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/993677847280562178 …

      Literally just spent the past few days dealing with a local nutter defending RMSs pedophilia apologia. Free and open source software is not worth more than actual women and girls.

      For the record: I give zero fucks about Stallman’s gross personal habits. I save all my fucks for the way he systematically and consistently acts to push women, girls, disabled people, and other folks from marginalized groups OUT of software.

      Oh for fucks sake. The Free Software Foundation was founded by a child porn/rape apologist, who continues to be on the board, and you seriously think this question even needs asking? Let me clue you in: NO. https://twitter.com/wwahammy/status/1073619366057512960 …

      We shouldn’t #cancelstallman because his ideas are abhorrent. We should do it because he has acted in abhorrent ways, deliberately & consistently, over 30 years, despite repeated feedback, & because in so doing he’s pushed countless women, girls, & others out of software.

          It sounds like something demanded by jackbooted cop in a bad dystopian SF story: "Present your pleasure card, citizen #56934904!"
