> I do find it terrifying though how he is lynched for what is essentially rational and permissible speech in an ugly wrapper. What he said in 2019 was basically the last straw for many people of behaviour that stretches back a decade or three: * https://selamjie.medium.com/remove-richard-stallman-appendix-a-a7e41e784f88 https://selamjie.medium.com/remove-richard-stallman-appendix... He hasn't admitted to doing anything wrong, or feeling regret for any words/actions, and so the thinking is if he won't ask for forgiveness (?) then why should he be let back in?

Again, I’m not defending or endorsing him. My issue is with the form. Apart from his unsavoury and mean things he says, most of the accusations seem to be centred around his MIT presence, and also sound like firable offences. I think a better place to start would be to enforce that, if the accusations are true (very possible, I just don’t know). Otherwise there are some accusations hanging around, b the organisation who should first and foremost address them (apparently) doesn’t. Then a lunch mob forms. Incidentally, I think this is the origin of the outrage society-the lack of appropriate reactions where they should be made in the first place. Still, I prefer C+ law-based justice to a B lunch mob.
