I have no hate against Ludo, I admire his work and welcome him.

It is only that I state my opinion. Defamation is false accusation of
na offense, or malicious misrepresentatioin of someone's words or
actions. I am fully free to say that Ludovic is leader in Guix and
that he used Guix project for defamatory statements on GNU project and
RMS. That statement of mine is however, so far from any hate.

I don't find it proper as he practices whatever defamatory politics on
GNU pages. Please remove it from GNU pages, stop misrepresenting GNU,
and I will not say here nothing, as your personal opinions are
personal. Then we can take it elsewhere.

Please don't whine if I mention Ludovic, it was not me who started
defamation in the first place. He and you, and all the group, you have
to bear with the consequences. People will talk. Bear with
consequences. My opinion is mild. I really don't hate anybody of these
people, why would I? I find them all intelligent, but I call them
defamatory for the reason, as that is what they do for as long as they
are publishing that statement.

You incited division in GNU project and keep dividing GNU
project. Yes, I find it malicious. You called people into the AntiGNU
assemble, not because they "suddenly discovered the domain" -- but
because you organized them, you are dividing GNU project for your
political reasons. And I can bet you never confronted RMS to speak
about whatever issue you have, so far now you have no objective issue,
just vague issues. Much of it has been already clarified here:
https://stallmansupport.org/

None of you have so far apologized or retracted your defamatory
statements.

You come to GNU mailing list with intention to divide more people,
where it is clear that you want to cause illegal take over of
non-profit corporation. Then you tell me I am the hater? I am very
surprised on that.

Can you respect the legal documents of non-profit named FSF? Can you
understand that it is legally founded non-profit that publishes its
statements annually, and that the only real impact caused was by your
group and similar defamators when they caused RMS to resign? How many
speeches did RMS hold after resignation? Much less than before.

You have to view straight into consequences of your doings. To tell"
the word "defamation" is warning for you. You can also get sued, but
you enjoy the privilege of kindness where somebody values your
projects and your contributions more than the personal image and
fame. You as group basically abuse elder respectful person with
impunity that is to me not understandable.

And so far none of you have any direct issue to solve with RMS, and if
you would have, why don't you solve it?

It is cancel culture.

This is the intersection of people who signed defamatory
statement on GNU Project October 7, 2019, and who are now
also speaking on the mailing list in the AntiGNU Assembly:

The defamatory statement on GNU project The AntiGNU Assembly has about same

website, hosted under GNU.org,          they disgruntled feelings come from
October 7, 2019, has following          failure to understand that RMS is on

I never wrote this, that is not my email, I did not write that above.

Personal harassment would be if I contact Ludo personally and tell him
something really bad personally, not related to organization and his
public statements, but I never did so. I am stating facts related to
public statements. If Ludo publishes it on the website, he has to face
that some people will talk and some will call him bad names, but I
never called him bad names as I don't use that kind of language.

Definitely not because I have said that your statement is defamatory,
as it was not me in the first place who said that before you issued
the statement. Your argument has no place. I am just saying what you
as group are doing, defaming GNU project, defaming RMS, and now
splitting GNU project with illegal take over attempt of non-profit
FSF. The list you mention above is list of people you lured and
divided from GNU project.
