hI all. firstly appologies for adding to this tempest in a cup of tea. As just recently stated by mr. Thomas Lord: "This list was not created for for endless discussion of RMS' or anyone else's alleged virtues or vices."
secondly, thank you mr. Ali Reza Hayati for the post you've send the link of. let me quote a bit of it: "If we don’t stand by our principals, which are based on justice, we’ll lose everything we have ever fought for. I highly oppose those who ask RMS and/or FSF board to resign." thirdly, i'd like to share my view on the matter. RMS is a genius and we, ordinary people can not aspire to totally comprehend the finished thoughts he expresses. Maybe the wittiness of his "sexist" jokes are a double parabole which reveals the corrupt side of our society and does it so in a "monty python-esque" way. But on us - me, Debs, Aarons, Dannys and the rest (of "god damned easy-triggered, politically correct snowflakes"), the allegory is lost. Also, for us less principled ones, when we witness the outrage RMS can display over some trivia, it seems he is a deranged person. But it may just as well be, that we are the deranged ones, since we are not able to distinctively recognize injustice and lies (so we stay happily non-principal. it reminds me of a joke mr. Marx said once: i have this principle, if you don't like it, well, i have others ... was groucho marx ;)). And also; it all reminds me of a parallel universe in which the apostles voted jesus out, because he was so unkind to the money changers in the temple, he was rude, he didn't think of their families and was obnoxious. Lastly, truth shall prevail. :) g On 25. 03. 21 18:14, Ali Reza Hayati wrote: I wrote this blog post: [1]https://alirezahayati.com/2021/03/25/fight-against-idiocy-support -rms/ Please send your support of RMS to [2]i...@fsf.org.
