[GTALUG] The FOSS world's most famous incel is back...

| Hello Evan,
| 
| Reading the replies to your post I feel disappointed that we have so many
| reactionaries in our midst.

We need a diversity of voices.  But not rude ones.

Calling Stallman an "incel" is quite wrong and deserves an invocation
of our Code of Conduct.

This discussion itself is clearly divisive.  Is it worth having?  It seems 
that there is more heat than light.

| I support this idea.

I don't.

Nothing I've read makes it crystal clear that RMS has done anything wrong. 
Many tellings are importantly inaccurate.  I don't wish to spend hours and 
hours investigating.

(I've met Stallman a few times.  In my experience, he isn't a very
likable person.  But that's not a crime.  He's also done much good for
the computer field (and some bad).  That does not mitigate any crime.)

| I'm going to cc email to the board and see if we can vote on board list 
| or call a meeting.

I would consider it improper for GTALUG to sign this unless you can show 
sufficiently broad support.

| In the meantime It is also possible to sign the petition as an individual.

Absolutely.
