Here it is the other way around. There is serious problem with one who
raises the baseless allegations even in out of context. Tarnishing is not
the way of positive criticism. Here those who work around these baseless
allegations uses the platform of free software movement, to attempt to
prevent the functioning of a larger a organisation for software freedom.
These type of act is against the philosophy of freedom we advocate.

Let the people decide which are  people-based organisation. Deviating the
target of a forum of free software movements to tarnish other organisations
out of context is not done with good motive.

You may play with argument and counter argument by yourself, and not
attribute those to me. I was asking the free software movements to come
forward to work in coherence to strengthen the movement further. You may
listen and realise whose blood is flowing abnormal.
