The open letter you support starts with:
Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as RMS, has been a dangerous
force in the free software community for a long time. He has shown
himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other
serious accusations of impropriety. These sorts of beliefs have no
place in the free software, digital rights, and tech communities.
You want Debian to make a public statement that Debian considers
Richard M. Stallman "misogynist, ableist, and transphobic".
You want Debian to make a public statement that Richard M. Stallman is a
"dangerous force in the free software community" for whom there is
"no place in the free software community".
