Those words didn't disappear and resurfaced from some secret tape or whatever. They're on his own blog, first-party information quoted all over the place, and recent email scandal just proves that he never really changed.
Also, here's a quote of his about people with Down syndrome:
> If you'd like to love and care for a pet that doesn't have normal human mental capacity, don't create a handicapped human being to be your pet. Get a dog or a parrot...

Seriously, everyone's better off with him gone, including free software as a whole. He's not worth defending. It was about damn time he actually faced some consequences for his shitty behavior.
- bmn__ 7y agoThe quoted sentence addresses the parents or potential parents who purposefully make mentally handicapped children, not the handicapped children. It's easy to make these kind of reading/comprehension mistakes when one gets caught up in cancel culture and their outrage mobs.
- throwiay789 7y agoHe just called a human being with down syndrome the same as a pet. a human being, nobody is having problems with reading comprehension except the people that have the same mentality as him (pedos, topminds, etc.)
