The FSF refused people who explicitly said they were totally ok with RMS being here too, that they just wanted to be able to disagree with him if need be and don't think that he should not be seen as indispensable. They also refused people just because they wanted to continue to work with local free software group that at some point communicated their disagreement with RMS.

Without any further info, I would file that under unfounded rumors.
You have to understand that there was corporate influence that tried to topple him multiple times. So in that regard, yes, sadly his critics must be vetted closely. If that hits valid criticism, I am very sorry for that.
What you call unfounded rumor is what I and others have experienced first-hand. For my part, I still have the mails.

what kind of disagreement? hard to understand without knowing that.
