Bonum Certa Men Certa

A Classic Example of Concern Trolling

this report reiterates the position that Stallman should be removed from the board of directors at the Free Software Foundation

From RationalWiki (last edited a week ago):

A concern troll is someone who disingenuously visits sites of an opposing ideology to disrupt conversation by offering unwanted advice on how to solve problems which do not really exist

They used to insist - using innuendo - that Linus Torvalds was sexist. But he wasn't.

They told us that Ted Tso condoned bad things, but the exact opposite was true.

They leveraged a campaign of Chinese whispers against John Gilmore, but he joined the FSF's Board months ago.

They say Alexandre Oliva needs to be removed from the FSF, yet it's unclear what he ever did wrong (except not accept/agree with the anti-RMS mob).

Bruce Perens is another one targeted by the same group. What was his 'crime'? That he opposed Novell's deal with Microsoft?

Don't fall for the lies of people who sell hate. They try to rely on previous campaigns of lies, regurgitating misinformation/disinformation.

Embrace reason. Leave behind the groupthink of social control media.

The Stallman report

One year ago (a response to the very same person): When the So-called 'Cancel Culture' Sees Everything in Free Software Through the Scopes of 'Sex' (Because It Cannot Argue on Technical or Legal Grounds)
