Re: [libreplanet-discuss] FSF should defend RMS and reject his resignation!

[Adrienne G. Thompson]

   You can "Rise Up" in a civil manner. That is what you will be doing by
   engaging the FSF in diplomatic discussion. It is a protest - just a
   more civil one than the twitter campaign that lies in waiting should
   you fail to do anything at all. We need formal assurance from the FSF
   that RMS remains our Chief GNUisance!
   Go organise - i.e #RiseUp !!

     All I can add to all of these well-said points is an expansion of
     the
     above advice.  When you see others committing what you see as
     injustice,
     be better than them.  Don't stoop to their level.  Respond to
     emotion
     with reason.
     Please don't "#RiseUp" or anything so emotional.  The resignation is
     done, like it or not.  Our two biggest threats now are:
      1. That the free software community is now split into warring
     factions,
         and
      2. That some will now take a logical leap from the
     misunderstandings to
         accuse the free software community of "defending Epstein" and
     such.
     Let's focus on solving what we can.
