My opinions about blog posts don't represent the FSF, and I don't work on the FSF campaigns or management team who decide these things, I don't know how they think, probably somewhat different than me.

I said this about a couple of Devuan's evangelists, and it seems appropriate here:

"Unfortunately, while all but one of the folks responding may not *represent* [the FSF], they are actually *representative* of [the FSF]."

Only in the sense that they're "not claiming to represent" an organization yet their behavior is in line with what that those that _do_ speak for the organization.
