Agreed. Actively trying to harm other contributors (Richard Stallman) is the problem here.
genuinely curious here: when was the last time rms contributed anything other than bad takes or toxic behavior to the fsf?

I don't have a clear overview of the exact timeline, but at some point he created the FSF, the original GCC, Emacs, GDB, GNU Make, parts of the GNU userspace tools, the predecessor to Wikipedia, the copyleft concept and the GPL license among other things. How does it compare to your contributions?
RMS can be an amazing engineer that helped shape the tech world as we know it today, and still be a horrible human being.
I am quite sure he is not a horrible human being. I reserve that word for people like Putin.
Regardless of the person's views though I think if their code is clean and they're not actively applying said views to harm other contributors, live and let live...
