> ...because one of the letters against Stallman stopped accepting signatures at three thousand people, but the "pro" Stallman letter never did.
It was always a hunch, but I suspected that part of the reason they stopped is that they reached a plateau, while the open letter was continuing to rise in popularity.
I have personally communicated with RMS, even privately, and see a discrepancy between the way he is portrayed and the way he behaves on a regular basis. Of course, I might have just caught his good and kind side, who knows? Either way, my impression remains that those who see him as bad want to see him as bad.

Regarding the other accusations, my understanding is that they are unfounded or intentional misrepresentations
