Reminders:
1. The @fsf board is still run by Alexandre Oliva, who has more compassion for Stallman than for his harassment victims

@fsf 2. The @fsf has not separated itself from its main project - GNU - a project that Richard Stallman continues to run. The FSF provides all of the project's funding and organizational support.

@fsf 3. The board has issued no statement on the departure of its founder and board chair, beyond a 57-word strictly factual account published almost 2 weeks ago.

@fsf 4. Stallman's actions over 30 years have disqualified him from any leadership position - full stop.

@fsf 4a. That includes leadership of the @fsf, as well as leadership of any of the projects that the organization sponsors.

This is consequences 101, people. It's not hard to figure out.

@fsf 5. Although the @fsf has not issued any statements about the ongoing Stallman scandal they're embroiled in, they _have_ been very active on their blog & social media.

@fsf Since Stallman 'resigned,' the @fsf has used their public voice to promote an upcoming conference, solicit nominations for their annual award, & announce new software releases, among several other topics.

@fsf It's ALMOST like the @fsf believes this scandal is just going to blow over, that Stallman can continue to de facto run the organization from his perch as leader of their main project, & those of us applying pressure will go away.

@fsf

@fsf Does the @fsf want to actually be effective at fighting for software freedom? This is how they do it:

1. Remove Stallman as head of the GNU project, or cut their ties to it.
2. Replace the entire board.
