@giacomo I think we already discussed this, but the goal of that statement I think it was to have more participation in the GNU project's management process.
I don't think it has anything to do with the personal views of RMS, who has certainly made unfortunate comments about various subjects and didn't measure (maybe he is not able to) the noise they were going to have.
I think De Vault's RMS "sexual misconduct" alegation was bullying. I don't think this is.
@ekaitz_zarraga@mastodon.social yes I know we discussed this before and I know you are trying in good faith to make #Guix better.
That's why I didn't mention you in my first post of this thread.
Sure #DeVault's attack on #RMS was much more direct and full of lies and mischaracterizations, but the Guix one was even more vile, as backstabbing a man when he's weak is worse than a frontal attack.
Sure, #Stallman hold a lot of bad opinions. As a white american grown up during cold war I'm surprised he doesn't hold many even worse. I even think that he got wrong the fundamental values of #FreeSofware (!!!), so it's not an hero or a saint to me: I'm fully capable of debating with him on his own biggest achievements.
What I cannot accept is backstabbing a weirdo because he is too weird. And just to weaken his rigorously held line on free software.
FreeSoftware should celebrate #weirdness!
