too litte, to late and they revealing that RMS acted on his own announcing the return proves that they are wrong about his change.
perhaps Stallman's personality or other lack of social cues should be the blame as to him announcing his return without consulting with the FSF
of course. the point is: FSF says he changed. This carelessness says "not much". When Linus pledged to change he changed. Develop strategies and used tools to reduce problematic behaviour. RMS didn't.
Once a Linus, always a Linus. That's what I say!
nobody cares what Linus think or says at home.
hi isn't insulting people on mailing lists or code reviews.
RMS can be as freak as he want, if he stop hurting other people. This is not thought police, is enforcing limits on acceptable behaviour.
I see your point, but is RMS actually hurting anyone as you claim?
his sexism, harassment of, and general creepiness towards women is well-known

"too little, too late" seems to be a staple phrase for people who'd love to just keep a good lynch mob going.
