I realize that the fatwah against RMS has been written.

And maybe death-by-accusation is a reaction of societal chemistry that must run to its conclusion.

Hopefully the pending dark age at which this sort of action hints is a brief one.

It really does a disservice to the people in history who have actually been murdered due to a religious decree to compare their fates to somebody stepping down (temporarily) from a leadership role at a private institution.

Perspective.

FATWAH: a legal opinion or ruling issued by an Islamic scholar;

Says a person who presumably never met RMS, or saw his "behavior".

I traded email with him some decades ago, wondering if he's more libertarian than far-Left in his politics.

Came away with the notion that he's an original thinker, and getting to heavy with labels is not helpful.
