As we work on these issues, let's not forget the purpose of our movement, or the great work of our staff and all the good people of the free software community who are dedicated to users' freedom.

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?
