I said “you’re gonna have a bad time”. He’s having a bad time. The fact that I’m anti-pedophilia is incidental to the fact that the Minsky remarks are not necessary to establish that RMS is (was?) at least plausibly pro-pedophilia at one point by his own admission on his own website. I literally cannot believe that words like “SS Officer” and “authoritarian rightists” are making an appearance in a conversation that started roughly with “nah he actually said that shit, here’s the link, and no one should be surprised that he’s having a terrible time as a result, the Minsky shit is not necessary to establish that he actually said that”. I really cannot see why everyone is so fucking super duper hyper charged up over this. Pedophilia being bad is about as vanilla of a position that it’s possible to take on anything, and while free speech entitles people in the US at least to take a different position, it seems like kind of a stretch to expect anyone’s employer to line up behind that.
