Toxic

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

@sarahmei RMS could stay and that might alienate you. I know that RMS has done great good in the world. I don’t know anything about you except that you slander people. You want to bring down someone who has done great good.

Honestly. Read the fucking room. Stop tweeting, go email the rest of the board. I support the FSF but RMS needs to go. I’m a GNU speaker. I’m a prominent free software person.

I don’t read the room (a Twitter mob), I read facts. Do you have facts?

Geoff, the assertion here is that RMS acts in horrifying and harmful ways (see the blog linked at the top of this thread) and there's no evidence that the FSF board consists of people who have meaningful objections to that. It's up to the board to alter that perception.

@mjg59 I don’t have a link to the blog you reference. Please include it. I’m spending the next 3 days doing volunteer work and I won’t be able to be on Twitter the whole time. Thanks.

So, you won't "read the room". You won't even read the GD thread. Sarah's whole thread STARTED with the blog in question, which contains the offensive email that RMS sent to a list that included MIT undergrads (MIT often admits prodigies who are significantly younger than 18)
