At this point I think the most important thing is that mob rule is shown to not be the way.
I don't know RMS, I don't even know much about RMS... but I have heard enough to know he's not the intolerant idiot he's been made out to be in these hateful letters. There are possibly other very reasonable criticisms for him being removed from his position, but the mob made that impossible to discuss now due to the overwhelming irreverent bias - so now they should be made to wait for a very long time.
Come on Taze, put some effort into it: "I don't know anything about the target, but this trial by public opinion is fundamentally unfair and shouldn't be used to decide anything".
RMS might be a serial killer or pedo but until this is proven by the authorities what a sane person can conclude is that there is no actual evidence for such accusations, just some people with a grudge on RMS remembering 20 years old stories of RMS committing the crime of making them uncomfortable.
Or some argue that RMS did no crime but is just not good for PR reasons so we should put someone more cool on the top, someone that speacks using political language.
I was not aware that the justice system operated on the principle of “if I believe someone is innocent, I do not have to consider any of the evidence”.
