to me this is a highly simplified view and I do not share it. To me it is a lot of work to be the leading moderator of an organisation, I don't think what you've stated above would stand a serious examination. In addition the FSFE is not just another company or political party. > Notice that in this case, there is quantifiable evidence that the number > of fellows has been falling since they were told they are only > "supporters". Even if there were, I cannot see how you would link it to the name change. And even if you did, maybe it was good to clarify the relation as it has been from the beginning even in the name? In addition the FSFE is not about the number of supporters, it is about furthering Free Software and the education of Free Software for the public benefit. > In any organization with a genuine democracy, there > would already be at least one other person campaigning for the role of > president right now. As I did explained elsewhere: The FSFE cannot be a "democracy" (as we cannot know who is the "demos" and we are not a mandatory "membership" organisation like a state.)
