On the contrary, we should probably medicalise everything to a degree. If someone is abusive because they are schizophrenic, that doesn't make the abuse acceptable, it makes it understandable. The inclination to pile on angry judgment of people amounts to failing to understand why people are the way they are. The anger is valid to the extent that it is a call to STOP bad behavior, but when it goes past that into retribution, it's counterproductive. Dangerous people shouldn't be put in positions to cause harm, but they might as well fairly be medicalised. And RMS isn't actually dangerous, more like overall exceptionally outlier-level of ethically consistent and moral combined with some sexist cultural baggage and extreme (autism most likely) social awkwardness. Dealing with his position is not a simple black-or-white issue, it's not simple. It should be addressed, and it might be best done with sympathy to understanding his likely autism. That does not make it an excuse. Any non-autist who is creepy is creepy for some other reason that we should also wish to understand.
