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.

"If you disagree with a cancellation, you must be cancelled."
This is exactly what brought the mob down on Stallman. He disagreed with Minsky's cancellation. Worse, he was correct to disagree, which is an unforgivable sin.

And in turn, the FSF board disagreed with canceling the guy who disagreed with a cancellation, so they too must be canceled.
Meanwhile, off to the side, MS Palpatine cackles gleefully "YES! Let the anger make you powerful!!"
