Opponents of the attempt to remove Stallman from all posts published a counter open letter from Stallman's supporters and started a petition in support of Stallman (to sign, one needs to submit a pull request).
Actions against Stallman are interpreted as attacks on freedom of expression, misrepresentation of what has been said, and social pressure on the community. Historically, Stallman has focused more on philosophical issues and objective truth, and is used to expressing his views directly without unnecessary diplomacy, which can lead to offense, misinterpretation, and misunderstanding. However, these characteristics are unrelated to Stallman's ability to lead the community. Additionally, Stallman, like anyone else, has the right to his own opinion, while others are free to agree or disagree with it, but must respect his right to freedom of thought and speech.
