"In your quest for truth, do you question yourself: what's the harm of the sign?"

To me it would be not such a big deal, but to a pretty, but insecure hacker women - probably yes. As she would then avoid RMS and the FSF. If the FSF is fine with that, fine for them. I am also not joining.

But to me a big deal is, how people are dealing with facts.

Because saying, someone else wrote it and put it up and RMS put it down implies he did not endorse it. People here told me it is fake.

But if he would have left it there for good and only put it down much later after people told him that it is not appropriate... then saying the sign is fake would be lying propaganda to be.

And if someone would have put it there with the purpose of discediting RMS - would tell about about its enemies.

Thats why I want facts. So far I gathered quite some facts about quite some people involved.

But like I said, for all I care, RMS can be total or partial leader of the FSF again. They are not really my crowd anyway, despite myself living and loving open source.
