I've read most of the report and it's got a lot more than "last time". Speaking as someone who has done a lot of my own research on Stallman's bullshit, the depth of this report is astonishing. The allegations it makes regarding the conduct of the rest of the FSF is particularly alarming.

I think you should at least skim it before you comment.

> I've read most of the report

One would hope you'd read the entire thing, since you appear to have been behind it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41859793

Drew please. What is your ultimate purpose in creating this smear piece?

He needs to do as much damage to Stallman while he still can. Stallman's recent health scares (as noted in the "stallman report") have most likely prompted this as Drew knows once RMS passes away he wont be able to get his revenge on the guy or have him removed from what has been his life's work.

There are screenshots from Drews live streams which show his browser history/bookmarks which show links to 4ch board for cartoon drawings of lewd/nude children which make this all the more sickening. No wonder Drew loves his "research" so much.

What’s even more horrifying is he believes in forcing IUD surgeries onto teen girls. Why is a man this old so invested into sexual art of and opinions relating to the sex life of young teens? It’s genuinely disgusting to think about.

“I'm of the opinion that 14 year old girls should be required to have an IUD installed. Ten years of contraception that requires a visit to the doctor to remove prematurely.” - https://web.archive.org/web/20130523180641/http://www.reddit...

Well you see this quite often, you have these men who protest very loudly online about CSA end up being found guilty of assault or in ownership of assault media themselves.

One can only hope Drews local law enforcement find a reason to seize all his computer equipment and do a forensic investigation.

Will you please explain why you attempted to conceal your involvement in this article? Furthermore, why did you do that so poorly? Domain blunder aside, I'm sure I'm not alone in having immediately recognized the thesis, specific political lexicon, and structural outline from your earlier blog post.

Do you see yourself as a viable leader of this community?

> If these people succeeded in their apparent goal of making RMS less popular, do they think the world will love them for it?

Sometimes one does the right thing not because the world will love you, but because it is the right thing.

Bullying an old man with cancer over off-colored jokes made half a century ago and opinions that he publicly retracted is "the right thing"? That's absurd.

Does the old man still carry authority and a leadership position in a globally influential movement?

Leaders are held accountable.

Which globally influential movement?

Stallman's credit for the creation of the GNU operating system was stolen by Linus Torvalds, and most of the community even claims that GNU isn't an operating system, essentially deleting his biggest achievement and denying him any and all recognition.

He created and championed Free Software, but that movement was replaced by the Open Source ideology, which is diametrically opposed to what he believed in. The FSF struggles to get new members and funding, while the Linux Foundation and open source projects flourish with billions of dollars from volunteers and corporations alike.

GCC and Emacs are largely irrelevant today. Stallman himself gets no respect; he's mocked and harassed by open source advocates and corporations alike.

He has expressed the isolation he is in during an interview: "I am the last survivor of a dead culture. And I don’t really belong in the world anymore. And in some ways, I feel like I ought to be dead."

What Drew DeVault did with this hit piece is despicable. He wanted to shame and bully the FSF board into removing Stallman and resigning so his people can take over and push for his deranged idea of 'free software.'

"Influential" doesn't mean "in control." See: the media deciding the definition of "hacker" over years of protests from people in the tech community.

Stallman, his writing, and his org moved the needle on the way software was done; that doesn't imply they get to dictate how software is done. But nowadays, I question their capacity to move the needle.

I'm convinced this is a COINTELPRO subversion campaign
