I have submitted my signature to this open letter in support of RMS and the @fsf. Not because I agree with everything RMS has said (I don't), but because I believe that censorship of reasonable and civil debate has no place in an organization that claims to be dedicated to "freedom." I know that if someone as influential as RMS can be pushed out, someone like me doesn't stand a chance. Censorship, "cancel culture," and the resulting chilling effect hurt those with the least institutional power and support the most. I'm glad they are standing up to this mob, and I hope that means "subversives" like me can feel welcome in the free software community once again.

I don't understand this ideological purity stuff. Why do his other opinions matter to his advocacy of free software?
