Oh good. Now the community here will bend over backwards defending him again. It's tiresome and misguided. 1. He said controversial stuff. 2. He's a represe

Oh good. Now the community here will bend over backwards defending him again. It's tiresome and misguided.
1. He said controversial stuff.
2. He's a representative of organizations that don't want him to say controversial stuff.
3. He got kicked around for it.
Quit defending his behavior. It's not a good look. It doesn't matter if you think he's "technically correct" (which is highly debatable, anyway).
You're enabling bad behavior if you think this should go on without any kind of blowback.
This is the tech version of "locker room talk". It's all good so long as you're on the same team, right?
- dexen 7y ago>the community here will bend over backwards defending him >organizations that don't want him to say controversial stuff Quite a paradoxical situation: the organizations in question are no longer fitting - neither the community, nor the leaders. Stallman co-created and led a community. There were various organizations established to help the community and to benefit from it. Somehow the organizations became detached from both the community and one of the most prominent leaders, to the point of taking a stand against both. Here's to hoping one day the free software community's voice can reach Free Software Foundation better than the Twitter outrage mob.
