Only if you believe that the FSF's conference was not at least partially motivated by that particular incident. I'm willing to buy that it was.

They're trying to make amends. Sounds about right.

Amends or not

In that case (making amends), an apology for the failed joke would have been due as a first move. But maybe the FSF (not just Stallman) wants to learn more about the issues involved before making an opinion. Sounds honest enough.

For all we know, he's not even involved in this and the rest of the FSF is trying to make up for his poor behaviour. As in "see? we're not all like *elbow jab* him"
