Sometimes the painful truth is obvious even if you don't want to believe it.
There are two options here. 1) The FSC is set up to get a piece. 2) They are absolutely worthless.
We will never know. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and wager this will clear with flying colors. We can only hope sales are weak due to a sluggish industry and those who invested so much, lose everything.

That matter was fully discussed in that exact/same Xbiz Discussion "platform" that you mentioned. I was at the FSC meeting where ICMs monetary offer was discussed AND DEFEATED (in spite of some so-called new members who joined before the meeting began and seemed to try to stack votes against our defeating the ICM offer--I wonder who/what recruited them and paid them to be there and vote the ICM way?). It was a Pre-Diane Duke meeting, but she has been absolutley great in defending us these past few years since she took over the reigns, and she has made FSC even better.
Reference your two options; I see another one, namely that we ALL need to make certain that past assumptions (many of which are incorrect!) about FSC don't keep us from supporting the absolutely fine work they NOW do; so my option 3 would be for us to contribute funding to FSC for them to have the means to continue fighting .xxx, Cal/OSHA, 2257, and piracy.
