I was wondering who would have this vendetta to elevate RMS' various comments as so insensitive compared to what other people do or say
They just seem so innocuous, unrelated to leadership, and with FSF being too obscure of an organization to even bother. Even the generalized argument in favor of dismantling perceived oppressive systems by ostracizing all the leaders just seems so misplaced here.
There are quite a lot of powerful people who would like to see it water down its principles. Thats a lot easier without Stallman.
I don't for a second believe that this is actually about what RMS said. This scandal has corporate PR fingerprints all over it.
