Hey @fsf - fire your President and Board Chair. He just sent an email to the MIT computer science community claiming that sex with an underaged girl is not rape.
I know you know about him and his 'problematic' ideas already.
Just letting you know that WE KNOW.

Decades of experience show he'll never learn anything about why his behavior is harmful. This is why
@bkuhn_ebb_org@makoshark@gknauth@mindspillage need to step up & finally do their jobs & remove him if there's any hope left for the charity rapidly crashing into disrepute. -
If they don’t do their jobs quickly they should resign from the board as they are failing at their “duty of care and duty of loyalty” to act in the best interest of the organization and not in the best interest of RMS. They work for the organization and must put the org first.

https://stallman.org/archives/2019-jul-oct.html#14_September_2019_%28Sex_between_an_adult_and_a_child_is_wrong%29 … He posted this. Way too little way too late.
-
Fire off another email telling him that’s not going to cut it and that he needs to resign immediately.

This thread is eye-opening. I hadn't previously really engaged and certainly never knew RMS held these views (and the views on pedophilia). I would say I'm surprised, but people in the limelight usually find a way to disappoint you.

Warnings about him have been circulating among young women for at least 30 years. He's written things publicly about adult/child sex being OK in "consensual" circumstances for ~20 He's been getting a free pass for a generation because of GNU and Emacs. It is time for that to end

I do not dispute that he's had an insane amount of influence over modern computing and the overall success of *NIX and OSS... but that's not the end of it. His behavior, and a generation of young men following him, have successfully pushed out many thousands of women from CS.
-
A lot of them don't see this as a problem. He's absolutely shaped the industry, in some ways for the better, in other ways for the worse. In 2019, I don't think he has anything to offer that will make OSS, CS, or industry better. RMS and those like him are the pipeline problem.

Well, now he did resign, so now we're at the next phase in this, and the Free Software movement.
