You are very, very wrong. We are trying very hard to stay within GNU, but the feedback we have received so far on GNU mail lists suggests that we are not wanted here. Keep in mind that *we* have to justify to our friends and colleagues why we support, through our paid and unpaid work, a project that refuses to distance itself from a leader who has bizarre notions about consent. This is the reality for us. Looking back over the last 18 months or so, I am no longer sure if people join GNU because they want to work towards a world of free software, or if GNU is simply the pretext they need to label other people as morally corrupt or wrong, downright evil, and generally bully them, while viewing themselves as morally superior.
