I agree, the FSF should have investigated the facts and looked for community 
input before accepting RMS's resignation.  I understand that Richard can be 
stubborn, but his resignation over libel is not at an obvious way to help the 
FSF or make this scandal go away, much less fix the underlying issues.

Everyone should put some time into understanding the issue and voice your 
opinion.  Roy Schestowitz has made a good page for understanding what 
happened:

I know people don't really have time for this, but doing nothing is an 
acceptance of might makes right.
