If the above was an accurate statement, then you wouldn't have continued
your posting.  However, you gave lie to your statement by saying:

   ... There IS something wrong with use of these sites and networks
   for the type of private political advocacy that is engaged in by
   FSF in general, and Mr. Stallman in specific.

You seem to object to the prohibition against pro-apple statements
being posted to gnu.all newsgroups.  However, Stallman isn't
prohibiting you from making pro-apple statements on !gnu.all, nor is
he trying to prohibit you from creating your own pro-apple mailing
lists[1].

   [1] He *is* trying to discourage anyone from doing either of these.

People voluntarily subscribe to gnu.all because they desire knowledge of
FSF activities.  If they dislike these activities, they are free to
reject gnu.all.  If they feel for legal reasons that they are unable
to receive these notices, then they should unsubscribe.

You are welcome, of course, to try to convince the FSF that they should
not engage in private political advocacy.  But to imply that the FSF
is using public resources for private political advocacy is incorrect.
