Making the FSF even less inclusive seems like it would further hamper their efforts to encourage more people and organizations to choose libre licenses, software, and hardware.
Stallman is nothing like the caricature from the slanderous hit-pieces, but in their zeal to defend him from both fabricated and legitimate complaints the FSF seems to be cultivating a smaller but more fanatical audience. Turning the FSF into a cult of personality centered on Stallman may be good for donations but it may also prevent them from achieving their mission.
