Both. RMS should not make political decisions for glibc anymore, and it is not right for him to seek “integrity of the prose he wrote” (where said “prose” is a bad joke completely disconnected from the rest of the manual).

Yes, many seek to remove any concept of morals (or even ethics), to remove any hint of the founder's original intentions, to remove all politically incorrect prose and the ever-expanding menagerie of trigger words and phrases from all "upstanding and upright" technical material such as documentation.

Let us all submit to the passive aggressive, cry bully trigger-melting "unique snowflakes" by making the entire public world a safe space.

Or, let's not‼

Let's honour the intentions, ethics, vision and grace of the founders on whose shoulders we stand (such as Richard Stallman).

Let's admit that we are above submission to an endless march of passive aggressive cry bullies demanding the entire world become their safe space.

Let's admit that everything we say and do is in some way, on some level political, and at the very least honour the intentions of the founders of those projects we benefit so handsomely from.

Do. Not. Subsidize. Bad. Behaviour.

And do not subsidize the passive aggressive safe-space demanding cry bullies.
