This is a baseless accusation. There is not a single documented case
of anyone confusing my personal email address [email protected] with
the FSF. Not one.

Just because a domain contains the letters "gnu" doesn't make it
misleading. Should everyone who uses "gnu" in a project name,
username, or domain be accused of impersonation? That's absurd.

My domain is gnu.support — I support GNU. That's all it means. Stop
spreading unnecessary fear and making unfounded claims about my email
address.
