Then you have chosen for the FSF to die on the hill of the cult of RMS. You've clearly staked your ground and nothing can convince you otherwise, even though there are vast instances of the things RMS has said and done from people that have worked with him and around him.

And I hope you realize the deep irony in you complaining about character assassination while you set out to do the same thing to try and prove an irrelevant point.

Reciting her already public twitter bio is not character assassination.

which is somehow different from reciting stallman's emails and public behavior? the latter being "character assassination"?

I mean what was written on https://rms-open-letter.github.io/ :

> Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as RMS, has been a dangerous force in the free software community for a long time. He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety.

I think if someone wrote it themselves as a comment here on HN it would constitute flaming and would get flagged.
