Wait, this might has been aggressive (caps are) as usual from Ruben… But this
was noway insulting, hateful or harmful!

I’d notice that problematic behavior has been discussed, questioned, asked
about and speculated on on this list *only* by supporters of RMS. None of
you, except a few, once or two (abort joke… I think that’s it) never cited
anything. So it’s not gaslighting in any way. You can just contradict him if
you dare (as nobody has done this with arguments until then), or ignore
otherwise.
Censoring him for *that* would be a good example of biased moderation.
“gaslighting” is heavily subjective, blurred and informal. We cannot impede
that. Every time people disagree and have a hard time understand each other,
that might be considered as “gaslighting” from each part against the other.
The only discriminant here is intent. We can’t condemn people for intent,
especially if speculated.
