Or to have the stance as stated. Just because you don't like it the stance is still there. And just because it's not loud or infuriating it still is a statement. Plus there was action taken (which you did not mention for whatever reason).
What 'action taken'?
From the meeting minutes:
"* For the time being, sponsorship is suspended"
This is not an action. "For the time being" makes it clear that the suspension is temporary, and I assume will be reassessed as soon as the promised action by Neal and Simon bears fruit...assuming that AI is actually acted on.
Ok, maybe this part of the minutes wasn't worded the best. The actual decision was to suspend sponsorship until we believe that the issues that lead to our suspending of sponsorship are resolved, to date that hasn't happened yet. Personally I believe that the act of withdrawing all future sponsorship sends a stronger message to the main people we need to send a message to being the FSF Board then any statement or words that we may say. I can understand that you or others may have a different opinion on that, I also understand that there are a significant number of other organizations that are not in the position of having donated to the FSF or one of there events in the recent past and as such I can understand them feeling the need to signal there disapproval in other ways.
