An open letter in support of RMS being reinstated by the FSF

I do love to see people come out with a public statement that says "We believe that a guy who, in public meetings, representing his organization, picks toe cheese from between his toes and consumes it in front of people, is absolutely the right leader for us! We believe that a guy who showers once or twice per year is the best public face for us. Out of all the billions of people on Earth, he's the one!"

Takes guts to make a statement like that. Bravo.

Here's a link about Stallman for the many HN readers who obviously don't know anything about the guy. I urge you to read it before forming your opinion about "cancel culture".

That's it? Bad hygiene and awkward attempts at romancing women? Truly, a devil incarnate.

You don't need to be literally Satan to be a less than ideal for certain positions, especially when they involve represeting a movement or organisation.

You should go ahead and start your own movement then, be a leader instead of an asshole who tears other people down.
