    You are free to show me exactly where it criticizes the FSF beyond their interactions with stallman.

    I’m glad we agree that DeVault’s Stallman Report attacks the FSF.

    I don’t view pointing out that Stallman is not fit for a position of leadership to be an “attack” on the FSF or the free software community.

    OP didn’t say which of the many attacks in the report they were referring to, they just said the report was “an attack”. I’ve no idea why you believe OP was referring to DeVault’s claim that Stallman is not fit for a position of leadership. That doesn’t make any sense. If one were being uncharitable, one might even say it was… irrational.

    Edit: corrected quote, clarified wording

    Stallman is not the FSF.

    FYI, DeVault’s Stallman Report explicitly attacks the FSF as well as Stallman.

    The FSF is not the free software community

    OP said that the report was “an attack on the FSF and the free software community in general” which doesn’t imply that the FSF is the free software community and in fact is explicitly distinguishing the two. I took it mean that the report was such a deceitful and irrational work, presented in such a duplicitous manner as to constitute an attack on the senses of the community.

    Edit: in fact, the report does attack the community, even if justification for the attack is invalid:
