Good for you, I don't. I trust Stallman.
> I used it as evidence
You used a tweet from a single person that never worked with Stallman as evidence.
>the way he reportedly treats women
Reported by who? Is there any formal accusation or lawsuit? Did he lost such lawsuit? (because anybody can file a lawsuit).
- bscphil 7y ago> You used a tweet from a single person that never worked with Stallman as evidence. I used it as evidence of the fact that many prominent members of the community have a negative opinion of Stallman. Not as evidence of anything he has or hasn't done. Please slow down a little and read my comments more carefully.
- aortega 7y agoYou really think that she's a prominent member? Next to Stallman or Minsky? I've never heard of her in my life up until today. And a single sample is not evidence that "many" have opinions.
- Jonnax 7y agoSo because the woman is unknown she is untrustworthy? Lawsuits aren't free. And the result is usually to destroy the woman's career and reputation. Especially for a popular figure where thousands will believe him no matter what. Just like you.
- denton-scratch 7y agoRMS is by no means a popular figure. He's widely considered an extremist. He is heartily loathed by Microsofties, software patent advocates and the like. Only nutters like me share his fundamentalist posture on software freedom. I find his style of advocacy abrasive. But someone has to stake-out that corner of the Overton Window; his very rigidity is his strength, in that respect.
