I don't know? How many? I have an open mind on this issue. But can you even identify one specific person who fits this criteria? > Because he has, many times, shown up and refused to leave for weeks So, now we've reached the point where public figures are expected to resign over the crime of being a bad houseguest? What's next? Accusations that Guido van Possum can't parallel park? Handwringing over Rob Pike's poor penmanship? Twitter threads collecting all the instances where Tim Berners-Lee was seen with food stuck between his teeth? More and more the whole Stallman affair just seems like a desperate search for an ex-post facto justification. Like fire him first, then figure out the exact reason later.
