Quiliro, I see you're at [1]riseup.net!
Your message has made Richard Stallman, an icon to human rights,
resign as
president of the board of directors and as president of the FSF.
As for me, I will stop preferring women for positions on free
software
technical areas. I think that they will earn them if they deserve
such
positions.
Affirmative action is a noble concept, but sometimes adopting the
policy just doesn't make sense. You always need the very best for
technical positions - which should accordingly be earned on merit. I
doubt that I will be "preferring women" for technical positions at GNU
C-Graph!
This whole business smells like a set-up. I've noted the number of
people who rushed to distance themselves from rms, some of whom he
might once have considered friends. RMS will rise again in the blink of
an eye!
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
