A group of people including Drew DeVault are trying to cancel RMS again, basing their claims on ancient misinterpreted quotes. Stallman may be controversial, but these activists are just acid for the entire Free Software movement.

A lot of the 'debunking' here is very poor, it assumes Stallman's innocence at every junction, argues that Stallman's word is more important than his actions, fails to engage with the full complexity of arguments against him, and more than once uses "but he's tender hearted, so he can't be bad" as an argument.

Certainly not "rational and objective" like it claims.
