That makes it sound like Richard is the sole contrarian, and you five 
(or however many) represent all the "good guys" GNU maintainers who are 
endorsing this document.

I get that there is an idea floating around that maybe RMS is not great 
at "social stuff", but what you've demonstrated here, probably with good 
intentions, is the Elephant in a China Shop approach to politics that 
befits a regular engineer (in a Dilbert sense).

Whereas Richard's views on this and related subjects have been 
repeatedly demonstrated to be quite refined, apparently over decades of 
dealing with them.
