highlight-RMS-supporters VS rms-support-letter

I have created an issue on this repository to have an option to highlight rms supporters in a more friendly green. It is always nice to know that the software is made by decent people.

Please, vote for my issue: https://github.com/sticks-stuff/highlight-RMS-supporters/iss...

Just know that if you sign the RMS support letter, you could be harassed. There are project on github to highlight people who signed this letter in commits or to avoid to make donations to supporters project

Richard Stallman, the patron saint of open source software, the author of the GPL, and founder of GNU, got fired over some bullshit trumped up accusations. He pointed out a technicality, but that was too close to dissent, so they rallied the mindless hoard and got him fired. I'm salty over it.

There were some issues made earlier, then issues were removed for that repo. One such issue was at https://github.com/rms-open-letter/rms-open-letter.github.io/issues/951 but it is no longer available. You can find a screenshot of it linked here https://github.com/rms-support-letter/rms-support-letter.github.io/issues/1338 -- the saved image is here: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/73961250/112379336-f1f6a180-8cdf-11eb-8571-f6fd05784284.png

For lack of a better term, https://github.com/rms-support-letter/rms-support-letter.git... look a lot like a cancel-culture honeypot than anything else.

Someone opened an issue about this, maybe you could take a look:

Speaking of OSI, Eric Raymond signed the RMS support letter. That just about says it all.

It is telling that these cowards from TOR have limited replies to that tweet. It is a pity that such important project is in such bad hands.

Anyway, just signed rms support letter [1] and suggest you do the same.

People from that "cancel letter" are removing issues when others tell them they are wrong. Their argument seems to be that there's already a lot of votes, so misinformation should stay based on that. People from the "cancel letter" also accept new translations, so I believe the misinformation spreads that way and many people who weren't informed enough about RMS will have a different picture after seeing only one side of the conversation. They act weird enough to earn a parody letter.

There are threads proposing to link to further discussions, however IIUC the maintainers of the support letter want to prioritize the freedom of association over defending Stallman's opinion, i.e. even if he has unpopular personal opinion, the FSF has the rights to choose its board members.
