with rms stepping down, i think FSF is effectively dead. I actually worry who's gonna lead. From what i see, it's likely not a good person. But, likely from now on FSF is just a pol puppet. Much followers and FSF loyalists will be lost.

Richard Stallman Speech Requirement (2011)
http://ergoemacs.org/misc/rms_speech_requirement.html
6993 words. Gets more and more nutty near the bottom.
excellent article defending stallman https://medium.com/@stlaurent.andrew/concerning-remove-richard-stallman-b48de0a249bc
@xahlee
Would you defend him?
I would. I feel that I understand the level of social ineptitude necessary to make the kinds of mistakes he has made. I've been there. I got better.
the other question unanswered is whether Richard Stallman will keep participating in emacs dev mailing list.
