#3Was really looking forward it :-/
The wording of the cancellation is just ... wierd. Just as if they have to say something, but don't really want to say anything at the same time. Such a wishy-washy bs.

#5Anyone have a background summary? Last I heard he kept a mattress in his office and asked people to lay on it, and he had a stupid neutral pronoun idea he was very insistent on using. Has something stranger come up?

As someone who was verbally abused and publicly insulted by RMS, I'm okay with this.

#9Literally canceled. Perhaps having an eternal memory of everything bad human beings ever do in their entire lives to be summoned up to destroy people is not such a good idea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman#Controversies probably covers it I'm guessing.
