   with rms stepping down, i think FSF is effectively dead. I actually worry who's gonna lead. From what i see, it's likely not a good person. But, likely from now on FSF is just a pol puppet. Much followers and FSF loyalists will be lost.

     am looking into whether rms resign from fsf is forced. still undecided. my guess is likely, but perhaps with undisclosed benefits. note, this is really a heavy issue. it's not just sjw. billion $ n its people r involved.

     another interesting thing is that i find very few people defending rms, unexpectedly from what i know of fsf fanatics n emacs diehards since 1998. i think most do not dare to say things.
