Honestly, it looks like a personal RMS hate page written by an autistic (or someone in a manic state) man. I can't say that someone who goes through years of mailing lists looking for evidence of RMS saying controversial things is sane. Besides that, the fact of expressing a controversial opinion is not a crime, and shouldn't (and can't) be punished. What is really important, is that the modern cancel culture (and this page as part of it) is destroying the freedom of speech, and it may really be the end of our society as we know it. Societal norms tend to change, and usually you change them by discussing them. It reminds me of lynching - someone can be cancelled just for saying something wrong (like "God does not exist"), or because of a false accusation (that someone is a witch). Do you want to live in a world, where your life can be destroyed because you said something that isn't now socially acceptable 10 years ago? Anyone can become the next one, and you are no exception, no matter how much do you support modern social movements.
