An anonymous hit job that reads like it was written by Ehmke. We should give this any credence because…?

It looks pretty well cited to me. The fact that it was written anonymously doesn't really take away from that.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 3 points 3 days ago

It really kind of does. If the author is so ashamed of the work that they won’t sign it, that speaks volumes.

Ummm or the authors are concerned about retribution because stallman and the FSF are very powerful in the FOSS community, and I think it's reasonably likely that they would be sued (seemingly with poor grounds) or harassed online for publishing it.
