If RMS had said "diversity is important but not our only goal", there wouldn't be any FSF drama. He didn't say that.
His comments are the wrong comments to defend, I think, for reasons adequately explained in the article. Minimizing the harm powerful people have caused to their victims is not "dissent" we should avoid stifling.
- zaptheimpaler 7y agoI wasn't defending his comments. I do think he's an ahole. Not my point though.
- mrkurt 7y agoFair enough! I think elevating his types of position to the level of "dissent" sounds like a defense, because dissent is something I think is admirable.
- ernst_klim 7y ago> His comments are the wrong comments to defend What exact comments? His comments on Minsky controversy are totally just.
