Alexandre,
Making our community more welcoming is indeed a process. And some
steps will just be symbolic. But I don't believe removing RMS from
(perceived) leadership positions in the GNU project and from the FSF
is just symbolic. And even for a symbolic step it is a powerful
one. It shows we

FWIW I find this terrifying too. What scare me the most is that people
supporting RMS are indeed scared of coming out publicly by the

Nathan,
I think you identify an important problem of gender imbalance in our
community. It is quite likely that finding ways to make our community
more welcoming to demographic groups that are currently less present
than in the distribution in the global population could reduce this
imbalance.
I've been lurking on this list for a while but never contributed in
any way to the project. Therefore I understand my voice has little weight.
I'm terrified by this campaign of harassment against the person who
has given the biggest contribution to free software. This confirms to my

A cursory reading of the top of Nathan's email states the reason for not

the URLS from this, you'll have to use your google-fu for sources. I emailed
