how many of the people complaining about RMS have been donating to the FSF?
I used to run a company called Roaring Penguin Software Inc. and we were patrons of the FSF in 2013, 2017 and 2018 (you can check the fsf.org pages.) I won't donate any more.
Not really. It was my decision to donate when I ran the company, and it's my decision now not to donate either in my personal capacity or on behalf of my new company that I just started a couple of months ago.
Go back to your safe space, you prejudiced-from-cluelessness hateful abusive bully (aka "SJW").

That's' what you claim, yet how many of the people complaining about RMS have been donating to the FSF? I'd warrant the percentage is extremely low.
I've been donating to the FSF for over a decade now, and if RMS is gone so is my money.

I know he cannot effectively lead
