Free software advocates seek removal of Richard Stallman and entire FSF board:
Richard Stallman's return to the Free Software Foundation's board of directors has drawn condemnation from many people in the free software community. An open letter signed by hundreds of people today called for Stallman to be removed again and for the FSF's entire board to resign.
The open letter said:
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.

It’s not classified as a handicap when he does it on purpose to manipulate people.
Let’s not forget that he’s lived his entire adult life sponging off other people.

So do nurses, but you don't hear people complaining about them, unless they accidentally kill someone. Oh, not sponge baths? Nevermind, carry on.

you're an ableist! Preferring people who are capable is one of RMS's sins.
