RMS is a grown-up, he talked his way into this mess, he can talk his way out. Might involve compromise though, so good luck with that.

But seriously, it's on him to fix this. If he doesn't believe he needs to, then well, he can go sit with Brendan Eich in the "intelligent, but unwise" corner.

Comparing Stallman to Eich is a bit weird, isn't it? Stallman hasn't actually done anything harmful; he's just terrible socially.
I'm a bit unfamiliar with Eich, what has he done?
He funded a group trying to prevent homosexuals from having equal rights with everyone else. Regardless of your ethical views on the subject of homosexuals, it's wrong to try and prevent anyone from having freedom, especially in such an undemocratic way as throwing money at it.
That is pretty sick description of what happened. To be precise he donated 1000$ to some org which opposes the gay marriage.
I described it completely accurately.
