> Look at his real history — not the sign about welcoming “hot ladies” on his MIT Media lab office door, which someone else wrote as a joke and which he removed but not before someone took a photo of it — but his record in helping to give everyone in the world access to free software. He has truly made our world a better, more free place. Just because someone did good things doesn't automatically make the bad things he said or did go away. This is a very dangerous position to hold. Stallman has an established record going back more than ten years of saying despicable things about women and children and the only reason why this reckoning didn't happen to him until today is because people like the author of this article gave him a pass for philosophical reasons. She is part of the problem and one of the reasons why women are having such a hard time in the industry today.

> Just because someone did good things doesn't automatically make the bad things he said or did go away This is not what your quote says. > Stallman has an established record going back more than ten years of saying despicable things about women and children I would be interested to see them. > She is part of the problem and one of the reasons why women are having such a hard time in the industry today. This is a very bold claim, would you happen to have anything to base it off other than her personal opinions that she expressed about Stallman?

She should be fired for this opinion... though perhaps that would be too lenient, given how much suffering her opinion caused? > saying despicable things I miss the good old times when saying despicable things about our lord and savior would get you a well-deserved bonfire.
