can anyone try to give me a reason "to not" AND "to" support rms?
To not: you don't like his personality or personal views. You think this affects the FSF's ability to advocate for free software and also develop new thought around free software as technology advances.
To: you can separate the person from the quality of their work and output as it relates to free software advocacy and leading thought around FOSS software. You can hold your nose for the (arguably left-leaning wing's) FOSS community's advancement.
