  Anyone have a link to the actual text of chain letter? I don't want others' interpretation, that link is to an incomplete summary with links to other incomplete summaries. Cursory search leads to pages of other "summaries", and yet searching 'site:motherboard.com stallman chain letter' nets ZERO results? WTF?

      Thank you much, Sacho. I would never have clicked on the Vice article link. For those who may be confused, &/or on mobile, the PDF is in order from last post to first. Very unfortunate RS decided to be pedantic here. While he never excused the behavior(AFAIR), it is a poor & insensitive time to argue legal minutiae, IMO. I am disappointed by his callousness. However, I am not ready to join the partially informed lynch mob. I hope those who make policies in media & enforce the laws do not let side-shows & obfuscations get in the way of bringing every last monster who visited Epstein's island to justice. PS: Google captcha to post on HN now? No thanks, henceforth.

    I'm hoping it's just lost in the noise for now, and not an attempt to keep people from seeing the source. Which would be ironic.

  That article is an exaggeration that doesn't reflect the truth. This article explains the real events factually (letting for you to decide what you think is right or wrong) and without hyperbole: https://itsfoss.com/richard-stallman-controversy/?fbclid=IwAR2EcxaMWXZnwU5GOJ4jbuiQrqpdRUmYlQkyGF2FZrA61M1r8onFm0fxssc https://itsfoss.com/richard-stallman-controversy/?fbclid=IwA...
