Hi. I'm the Anon to which you were directing the question.

I'm not assuming that the FSF officials are telling the truth and Rowe is lying.

I'm asserting that we who were not party to the events in question _do not know_ who is telling the truth and who is lying. Our understanding of the events is based on hearsay. Or -to put it more succinctly-:

"It sounds like this is a situation whose public understanding is founded on hearsay."
