If there were a credible case of criminal misconduct against him, you can be sure you'd hear the witch hunters cry it from the fucking rooftops.
In the hours I've spent reading this story, all I've seen is hearsay about women feeling uncomfortable about him having a mattress in his office; criminally stupid misreadings of his writings regarding Minsky; and of course various accounts him being a terribly unpleasant person, which we already knew.
It's obvious what ways the winds are blowing. There's no place for misfits like RMS in today's world. (But I guess there never really was.) That doesn't mean I have to like it.
- spookthesunset 7y agoThere is no amount of evidence that would please alt-right types like you. That’s why it’s not worth discussing things with you. Construct whatever narrative helps you sleep at night.... if this was any other website, I’d have a significantly less measured response.... needless to say, get used to being on the losing side of the culture war.
- dang 7y agoWould you please stop posting in the flamewar style like this to HN? It just degrades this place even further. I'm sure you can find substantive ways to make your points, or simply the discipline not to feed egregious comments. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
