I was linking to that letter, but I was not calling for the removal of
RMS. I was calling RMS and the FSF to set up a CoC that makes it clear
in a way which can not be misunderstood that they do in no way tolerate
or even accept abusive behaviour against children and women.
And what will hurting this project accomplish? Nothing. You are only hurting the people who love and contribute to this project on a regular basis. Hurting this project doesn't further your goal.
If they do not one will have to conclude they implicitly tolerate and
accept such behaviour and such opinions. So this is entirely about a
CoC.
Thank you for your support, Niels.
Niel's email above is, honestly, the first I have heard of that. It saddens me that anyone would choose to punish this project because of their own political stance. I sincerely hope that he reconsiders.
I’m again calling anyone who has got a mother or a sister, a wife or a
daughter to stop contributing to this project until RMS and the FSF have
set up a corresponding CoC or otherwise remove him- or herself from the
project and to then set free the valuable source code and software of
this project.
No. No one is going to stop contributing to this project because you ask them to, sorry. I was trying to ignore this thread after the last post hoping that things would cool off, but I was wrong to do so. I have loved this project for 20+ years and I am not going to abandon it or my friends because YOU want to grandstand and play politics on this forum.

I am giving you fair warning... end this silly thread. I, for one, am going to get back to work on GUI and Gorm. I refuse to allow a stupid political discussion slow me down.
