Slight correction to your post, the quote is: > The first time I was silent about rms was around 15 years ago. Did you see "15 years" and miss-read it as the girl's age? I agree with what you said though. It's almost like men aren't allowed to chat-up girls anymore. If she had said "go away" and RMS didn't comply then yes it could be seen as harassment I suppose...but there's no mention of that. All we have is 1 guys interpretation of the events. Also he assumes the girl knows nothing about emacs - is it because she is a girl? Other than that he criticises RMS for not getting on-board with a Code of Conduct. I'm on RMS's side here, it's not like CoCs are achieving anything positive in the world.
