So much this! asking to remove rms because he had toxic behaviors is really a strawman argument and completely misses the point. RMS *is* unfit for that position, yes. He *did* say horrible horrible things, yes. but the question is: why didn't he have to run for election (and such, probably lose) in order to enter the board again? -- Marco Martin
