That's not how PR works.
This is just whataboutism.
So just because the FSF is a niche org, we should just ignore the problematic public statements by it's founder and the person who's always been at the forefront of their PR?
Tbh, this just sounds like free speech absolutism apologia. Yes, people can say whatever they want. But they are not free from consequences. I want nothing to do with an org that would have Stallman as a part of it. I don't want to be associated with anyone who would. If you continue supporting an org that supports someone like Stallman, then both you and the org approve of the things he's saying. Period. Your words mean nothing. Your actions speak for themselves.
Your actions do nothing. You complain on the internet about some guy that said something you don't like. Nobody from FSF is gonna read it. And neither will Stallman or anyone that matters.
I don't see you boycotting software related to FSF. And even if you do, it doesn't even matter, since the overwhelming majority of FOSS users never donate any money at all.
You are no customer of the FSF, you just enjoy their stuff for free.
So your actions amount to angry screaming into a box.
