To the MIT community,
I am resigning effective immediately from my position in CSAIL at MIT. I am doing this due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations.
Richard Stallman

Is this somehow connected to his role as FSF president?

- austincheney 7y agoDumb. Why would anybody in their right mind try to frame intellectual or academic argument around the word assault? Assault does not imply force as the argument suggests. Assault is literally a physical violation upon a person. Statutory rape is sexual assault even if the victim(s) are completely willing participants who claim no offense or provocation.
