I have interacted with RMS. He stayed at a friend's house, and I went to one of his lectures. Though I'm not a friend of the man, I know that what you're saying was not true, at least during the time that me and my friends met with him. This type of rumor mongering is hurtful and should be opposed.

"He didn't harass women during the two days I interacted with him, therefore he has never done so" is not as strong a defense as you seem to think.

  "I heard somebody say he harassed women, so he must have done so" is also not as strong an attack as you seem to think.

  > He didn't harass women during the two days I interacted with him, therefore he has never done so Exactly, he's innocent until proven guilty, like everybody else. You're implying that "I heard from someone that heard it from someone else, that heard it from their dad, that read it on a mailing list, 20 years ago, that he did, therefore ho did"
