That is right.

They are not judging wisely. That is a fact too. They have joined the
mob as they know nothing better.

There is no defense in their new community. I hope they start calling
it GNG or GNU is Not GNU.

You see, that is exactly the fear, if you have different opinion you
are in fear to get excluded from GNU. In radio and newspapers business
one says that if one person expresses opinion in writing, one has to
think of 1000 other people who has the same opinion, they just could
not express themselves.

That is happening because those people are abusing GNU project for the
hostile take over.

I am asking those people who are pretending to represent all of the
GNU project and who are defaming and slandering RMS[1] to step down
and resign, do your software hacking somewhere else, you do not
deserve funding that RMS is giving you. Ludovic Courtès, Ricardo
Wurmus, Matt Lee, Andreas Enge, Samuel Thibault, Carlos O'Donell, Andy
Wingo, Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso, Mark Wielaard, Ian Lance Taylor,
Werner Koch, Daiki Ueno, Christopher Lemmer Webber, Jan Nieuwenhuizen,
John Wiegley, Tom Tromey, Jeff Law, Han-Wen Nienhuys, Joshua Gay, Ian
Jackson, Tobias Geerinckx-Rice, Andrej Shadura, Zack Weinberg, John
W. Eaton, RESIGN and step down from GNU projects, disassociate
yourself, find another house for your excessive and uncrontollable
fear of the free speech.
