If you feel comfortable saying more, feel invited to do so, I guess.
For starters, in what specific sense were you 'in the FSF'?  At what
time, in what capacity, and under what actual name?

And, sorry to bring up an awkward point on the latter matter, but it
would be _enormously unfortunate_ if you were to start trash-talking
people with real names from behind cover of a blazingly fake one, given
that you aren't actually a fictional Gallifreyan.  So, trash-talk under
your real name, sure, but otherwise, that's pretty skeevy and difficult
to distinguish from the worst sort of Internet malicious mischief.

(I was approached at one point obliquely to see if I were willing to be
FSF's volunteer sysadmin, and my reply was some polite variant on 'No,
not a masochist.')
