It's official Richard Stallman has sadly resigned from the board and presidency of the FSF. This action comes as a result of bullying by "social justice" warriors after intentionally misconstrued statements and defamation. While his original statements were easy to misconstrue they were honorable and sound. He stood up and defended a man who could not defend himself and for that he was crucified. This character assignation was wrong and those who failed to stand up and defend him are pathetic.
@mr_penguin Link? I believe you, but we need primary sources to know the extent to which the FSF is compromising its mission. This is the first I've heard about this.
I didn't say the FSF was comprising its mission. Only that the individuals who failed to stand up and defend him are pathetic. You could interpret that as including the FSF, but it would still be jumping to conclusions that I was suggesting that this was comprising its mission. The FSF has a mission to promote software freedom. It's up for debate whether this was the right move or not from that perspective. I suspect that it will only hurt the FSF, but I do not have data to back it up.
@mr_penguin If you don't believe the facts you reported imply that the FSF is compromising it's mission, you have every right to your opinion. That's all the more reason why I jumped on this asking for a link.
