   Richard Stallman has been re-elected to a leadership position at the Free Software Foundation.
   
   The Electronic Frontier Foundation, TOR Project, Mozilla, and various other projects/foundations has called for the resignation of Richard Stallman and the entire board.
   
   A GitHub open-letter has been created to collect signatures:
   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. These sorts of beliefs have no place in the free software, digital rights, and tech communities. With his recent reinstatement to the Board of Directors of the Free Software Foundation, we call for the entire Board of the FSF to step down and for RMS to be removed from all leadership positions.

   
   
   There has been a huge divide on this election.
   A support letter has also been generated.
   https://rms-support-letter.github.io/
   
   

   Removing RMS will hurt FSF’s image and will deal a significant blow to the momentum of the free software movement. We urge you to consider your actions carefully, as what you will decide will have a serious impact on the future of the software industry.
   
   To the ambush mob who is ganging up on Richard Stallman over reasonable arguments in debate and various opinions and beliefs voiced over decades as a public figure:
   
   You have no part in choosing the leadership of any communities. Especially not via another mob attack which does not remotely resemble a fairly conducted debate as exemplified by better people such as Richard Stallman.

   
   
   Both sides has been accusing each other of targeted harassment.

   who gives a fuck. they fired the creator of mozilla, he retaliated by creating the superior brave browser that actually blocks ads, actually protects your privacy and actually does what it says unlike firefox that is now being developed by incompetent SJW fucktards.
   
   if the free software foundation wants to be overrun with SJW scum, then fuck the free software foundation, let it be replaced by an organization that enforces a no-retard policy.

   He'd be a danger to the Free Software Community if he actively worked with malicious intent towards it's undermining or outright destruction. Pick-your-flavor-phobia ain't that, chief.
