Re: [libreplanet-discuss] FSF should defend RMS and reject his resignation!

[Aaron Wolf]

The call to go to Twitter with a hashtag is exactly the opposite of what
I am suggesting.

This seems like having a protest march before even an initial attempt to
negotiate and work on diplomacy in the first place.

We may not be involved directly with the FSF Board but we should start
by getting in touch with them. The concerns should be discussed
**privately** in smaller groups where we can do all possible steps to
connect on a natural human level, understand one another, etc.

I'm not even sure what the optimal process looks like, but it is NOT a
social media campaign to just play the same dysfunctional mob-justice
game that brought us to this place.
