Put down the torch, pick up the scalpel: The Future of the FSF (vmbrasseur.com)

It's an admirable sentiment, but there's a problem here. You can't wield that scalpel, and neither can I. Only the board and RMS can, and they've already demonstrated they won't.

The only way to get wholesale leadership changes is the implied threat that the organization will fail if they don't. You need a universe of people ready to burn it down rather than shrug off the latest offense.


In a nutshell, the author does not want to be considered as part of the mob but fails to hide the fact. Miserably.
