It is possible that there are multiple angles and reasons why a leader is no longer compatible, and that there is no 'game' to give away.

EDIT: What I mean is, it's entirely possible that its not just that Stallman had views that were disagreeable, nor that Stallman wouldn't stop talking about his personal views- its that Stallman wouldn't stop talking about his specifically disagreeable personal viewpoints.

Absolutely possible and I don't have a hard time believing they'd reached that point with RMS.

I hadn't seen RMS's politics link before -- he puts out like 10 bullet-point hot takes a day, lots of them with a viewpoint way outside the mainstream. He's got weirdo semanticist takes about basically everything, including, as infamously linked, sex laws.

I normally want to defend the right to have unorthodox takes on general principle, but I can see where they're coming from here as far as leadership.
