GNUbahn: > Do we know if RMS was "forced to resign" (his presidency of) FSF *BY* FSF?
I've seen no evidence of that as yet. It's not unusual in these sorts of cases for a person to come under increasing pressure to fall on their sword and resign, to avoid the scandal of the institution having to fire them as part of a defensive PR strategy. It's possible Stallman may have been pressured to resign from the FSF in this way. It's equally possible that he may have observed the controversy being whipped up by those willfully misinterpreting his statements, and simply decided himself that it was better for the FSF to avoid being drawn into that controversy, and/or that it was better for his reputation to resign rather than being stood down. At this point, we don't know.
