>including wanting to blacklist anyone who contributed to the extension

I think you refer to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26722528, if so it is more about giving them the same treatment that they give others. If anything it is hypocritical to say that the extension is fine but giving them the same treatment is not.

>and wanting to see everyone with progressive politics purged from free software entirely

This is... not true. RMS himself has progressive politics. A progressive can still reject insanity caused by other progressives.

>RMS supporters want to have Molly de Blanc arrested for simply writing a petition[0] to begin with.

Just a few corrections:

- It is not RMS supporters, it is a specific timecube-like conspiracy theorist that has been known to debian for a few years now.

- This article is more about the plainly false libel in appendix that molly knew about but has refused to correct.
