RMS is saying he wants to be "more kind", but he should avoid some behaviors that make people feel unwelcome/excluded. Make clear that the intention that similar people in similar situations wouldn't be made to feel unwelcome again.

(well of course sometimes when it actually goes against FSF goals, maybe some people should feel unwelcome)

Like, eh don't really have a perfect view on this, or anything.

(Note: The FSF board also made a statement https://www.fsf.org/news/statement-of-fsf-board-on-election-of-richard-stallman )

Should be noted right now he's going back _to the board_, not his old position. But still, don't see the word sorry, and when i look at actual behaviors witness are saying happened, i don't think it's sufficient.

Behaviors are the biggest issue, the Marvin Minsky thing is a little off.

I am sure the more corporate people and the Linux Foundation guys on apples are smelling blood too, yes. This does not excuse RMS..

I am very mean i just made my computer count to a billion.
