I've been a diehard free & open source software user, contributor, and backer since college in the 90s. But at this point, I would rather run proprietary software that I can NEVER see or change if the alternative is to run software licensed by the FSF.

Yes, I do know; I am subscribed to the mailing list in question. And yes, Mako & others care about this topic. Can anyone prevent RMS from speaking? No. Can they share board discussions with the random internet? No. Can they oust the founder from his own org? Unclear.
-
Can the board issue a statement? Sure, and they probably should; but a) the Internet will rip in to them anyway, and b), see above about keeping RMS from speaking. And lastly can individual trustees quit? Sure, though I'd rather see ppl who care about this on the board than not.

Organizations can be re-formed. And the people Stallman continues to damage are worth more than this particular organization. That’s why they should resign if they can’t remove him.

The bylaws are published, not sure why the myth that he can't be removed keeps getting perpetuated....
