Interesting to see the latest replies to the linked comment debunk it using video. People’s memories are slippery indeed!
- teddyh 7y agoPeople don’t have memories, as such. People have opinions about what their memories ought to be. Then they construct false memories as needed. Note: I am describing everyone, not just “other people”.
- throwanem 7y ago"Debunk" is a pretty strong word. If you haven't, you might want to look over the more recent replies.
- javagram 7y agoLooking at it, I don’t see anything to change what I said. The person replied and doesn’t deny that they didn’t accurately state the words RMS said, just argues that what he actually said in the video is still bad since it’s a joke about sex, even though the words are opposite of what they claimed. BTW, agreed sex jokes or talks should not have place in a technical conversation or conference. But I find misrepresenting comments to be questionable, and people criticizing others should at least spend the time to watch the video and transcribe the words correctly rather than misstate things.
