You hit the nail on the head

That's to be expected when we widen the number of people participating in the technical community. Compartmentalization is an outlier behavior.
There was a time when some folks wouldn't have batted an eye that Reiser killed his wife if his filesystem was good. The median tech community member uses a different standard these days.

Or perhaps they aren't truly upset about anything RMS said or did but see it as a tool to wrestle control away from him for their own purposes.
"Wow guys this is such a well-written piece. I wonder who could've put this together..."
I used to enjoy reading Drew's writings, but he's become such a complete goober lately (or I've just noticed it more).
I don't know what RMS's opinions have to do with running a free software organization, nor why they necessitate his cancelling, but apparently some people are incapable of compartmentalizing. I hate how common this has become.
