If it weren't for Stallman there would be no free software. So if you are cool with that you best cease using all free software. Also I see no evidence of "decades of bad behavior". All I see is he was a jerk to people because of closed source software. One of the articles was a woman's article about him being a jerk to. So the lesson is, avoid women at all costs. Just don't talk to them. Because if you do, and give the wrong impression, you get the RMS treatment (among many others). Its open season on all geeks, nerds, and dorks now I see.
So what is your next step with me? Are you going to try to dox me and try to get me fired from my employer?
- eesmith 7y agoThomas Jefferson was one of the founders of my country. I enjoy some of his writings, including on the separation of church and state. I also point out he was a slaveowner who had forced sex with his slaves. I'm not going to turn around and say we need an official US church because I'm against his slaving and raping. Nor am I going to ignore his actual history. Okay, as you say, "he was a jerk". We shouldn't have a jerk as the head of the FSF. Kick him out for being a jerk. It's not like I haven't heard stories about his creepy behavior for decades. How come Guido van Rossum (to pick one) doesn't avoid women at all costs, yet doesn't have same treatment? I propose it's because what you describe isn't actually the issue.
