   I saw some toots last night, where supporters of Richard Stallman claim the Stallman report is false and character assassination. They claim to believe in evidence, yet choose not to read the report. Which is mostly complied from decades of Stallman's own words.

   There's a concept called active ignorance, where you need not to know harm that's being done. This is how despite decades of Stallman being Stallman his supporters will not read the report.

     Folks who are aware of racism and ableism in the Fediverse will also be familiar with this concept.

     The reasons could be for anything. A love for friends or folks they look up to.

     A fear that Free Software will die without Stallman and whichever hand picked protegee he selects.

     But the truth is the Free Software Movement wasn't directly disseminated from Stallman. People brought us into this movement, just like others and Stallman's behaviour pushed folks out.
