An apology is a start, not an end, of (re)building trust. At best, this is premature.

Thank you, FSF! Much respect. This is a wise decision, and a wise statement.

Dear
@fsf
, do you think that “It was right for me to […]” looks like an apology? Do you believe an organization cannot outlive its founder? Do you think promises to make the board membership process “transparent” will be enough to restore trust? … I’m baffled.

RMS shouldn't have resigned the first place as he didn't do anything wrong.

RMS is the worst thing to have happened to free software. He's done nothing positive in his career

Being socially competent is a skill. Sounds like RMS truly understood that to it's core from his timeout.
It cheers me up hearing adults contemplate and act "as adults should", meaning apologizing for your mistakes but more importantly learning from them

I am sorry that you no longer want me or anybody else to feel welcome or comfortable interacting with the FSF. I am sorry for the people who want to continue interacting with the FSF despite this. You should be ashamed to have accepted him back into these positions of power. He is not capable of conducting himself with decorum or respect, and placing him in a leadership position is simply not appropriate.

Deeply disappointed in this decision to bring RMS back. It reeks of desperation and lack of insight into how the community feels about the issues of our time.
RMS is not a lawyer, nor trained legally. Looking to him for advice on legal matters seems farcical. While he does have connections and insight into the technical components of free software, it hardly matters as much as the lost reputation from his gaffes.
I, for one, will no longer be a member of an organization that is deaf to us

I'm glad the statement from the FSF addresses the key points of contention with the fairness and sincerity the matter deserves. And that Richard's note treats the situation with care and respect. Despite all the wasteful hatred, an FSF more determined to improve its governance and taking lessons from what happened will be beneficial to everyone. Cheers to all!

Welcome back RMS. Still can't believe that a (poorly thought out indeed) message on a mailing list had such a negative impact.

RMS is an imperfect human, but he still has as many important contributions ahead of him as behind him.
To those with concerns: It's fair to criticize him and to watch more closely. But we're all worse off if we expect flawlessness from any human who might help us.
