All of this over a tasteless abortion joke. It's time for RMS to resign.
@donblanco @waifu @karen @kaniini Yeah, that is one thing - it feels like it's punching up at anti-choicers, rather than down at women?
Hi, yes. This is documentation. Documentation should be straightforward, concise, and easy to read. Attempts at humour, whatever their intent, do not belong. It could be the world's best joke and it still wouldn't belong.
@Aerdan @kaniini @karen @waifu @donblanco TBH, I think that's a separate issue from the tastefulness of the joke itself.
(And, I think *this joke* is another issue from humor in documentation altogether.)
Invoking hot-button political issues deep into technical reference material is... yeah, that's going to be controversial. I lean slightly towards removal, but then I get that the FSF wants to be political here.

The point is not the joke: #Stallman is using his authority to keep the #GNU project coherent to its core values.
The joke is not about #abortion, it's about #censorship, that is an enemy of #free speech and of #freedom in general.
Stallman do not care a dime about the #political #neutrality of the #documentation and on this I agree with him.
If people supporting censorship get offended, they should avoid GNU software at all!
