Once you realize their one desire is to completely and utterly eradicate people who disagree, you will see that pragmatism is not going to be a desirable outcome in the long run.

Inviting the objectively greatest force for free software to an event that has "libre" in the name cannot possibly be an "offensive" take. Without RMS, LGM would not even have existed in the first place. The people who want to cancel him cannot be reasoned with, and you should never ever cave into the demands of psychopaths like them.

I don't argue we need to convince those people of anything, I'm arguing you shouldn't let them convince you of anything. Don't listen to their hateful and unjustified criticism. Don't cave in to their sick demands. Ignore them if you must, but fight them if you can. The future of free software and to a large extent the free societies we live in depends on it.
