The purpose of FSF and RMS as a spokeperson/leader is to represent a movement and the people behind it.
You cannot represent *me* if you:
- make all sort of "weird" remarks about age of consent
- brush off any sincere question or constructive criticism for decades
- systematically walk up to every young woman in a conference to ask her out
- throw temper tantrums for being offered a can of coke at a conference
- show up at conferences improperly dressed, barefoot, pick from your feet and eat some bits
- show up at public dinner with a strong body odor
> The purpose of the FSF is free software. Not people's feelings.
The behavior as a PUBLIC speaker affect the credibility of the WHOLE movement in the eyes of the world.
It's only rational not to support a bad public speaker.
