Although this resignation was absolutely necessary, I wish outlets like The Daily Beast and Vice would stop misconstruing Stallman's email. He said that Epstein's victim likely presented herself to Minsky as willing under Epstein's direction, not that she actually was willing. This is still an unconscionable "defense" on Stallman's part (and only one link in a long chain of dubious statements and behavior w.r.t. these issues on his part), but the misquotes just become grist for his defenders who want to portray him as a victim of an unjustified witch hunt.

His comments on human sexuality make me sad, even though he is an amazing computer scientist... he’s a bit of a troll human.
