> The pro-RMS vs anti-RMS thing going on since RMS's removal from the FSF in 2019

it's been going on MUCH longer than that.

No matter what he's done for free software, he's also a super-creep based on some of his comments

I mean, yes, but it was brought to a crest then. It went from a bunch of folks in the community separately saying "yeah, he's kinda problematic..." to a bunch of folks standing together and saying "he's problematic!"

So of course it had been going on a while if more than 3000 people were "suddenly" willing to sign the open letter against him.

3000 people "stand up". The other 1000,000 are flagged. Nice brigading going on here.
