> Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission

A stubborn person like RMS must compromise his beliefs and conform to the norms, it is not acceptable for him to be different.

> ignorance

People attacking RMS without knowing what they are talking about.

> hypocrisy

Excluding a person in the name of inclusiveness, in a letter preaching "digital autonomy" while hosted on Github, owned by Microsoft.

Just listened to the great Rage Against the Machine song "Know Your Enemy", it struck me how it relates to the #RMS debate.

Here is how it ends:

"Yes, I know my enemies"

"They're the teachers who taught me to fight me"

"Compromise,

Now I just found out that there is something called "direct messages" and there was a question about such messages maybe being silently discarded by the instance that I'm on. That would mean, I think, that I would never know about any direct message that someone tried to send me.

Regarding #RMS and the letter to remove him from all leadership positions, this makes several important points: https://www.arp242.net/rms.html

Bottom line, that I agree with: "being unfair is being unfair, no matter who the target may be".

Anyone here who signed that letter who would consider explaining their thinking? Looking for someone who both read it and signed it, knowing what you were signing and who is still standing by the claims in the letter. Anyone?

Thanks to @agx who suggested sending it upstream and also added to the explanation in the commit message.

Can I call myself a "contributor" now even though technically I didn't add anything, just removed one line? 😃
