https://futurism.com/the-byte/mit-scientist-stallman-pedophilia https://futurism.com/the-byte/mit-scientist-stallman-pedophi... He's never adequately explained from what I can tell why he made those statements in the first place. If he could provide that additional insight, I think it would help others evaluate the sincerity of his apology. The question that I have for Mr. Stallman is a very frank one: were his remarks in support of pedophilia designed to persuade Mr. Epstein to donate part of his $500 million estate to the Free Software Foundation, much like he observed role-models such as MIT president Rafael Reif do for Mr. Epstein when Dr. Reif sent Mr. Epstein a personally signed thank-you note for his donation to the Media Lab, or colleagues like Martin Nowak do for Mr. Epstein when Dr. Nowak created a web page on a university website and an office in his department for a convicted child-rapist in exchange for millions in donations to his academic program at Harvard.

And on the topic of LGBTQ+, looks like Epstein saw little difference between pedophilia and homosexuality: http://thecentralvoice.com/stories/jeffrey-epsteins-remarks-about-homosexuality-will-make-you-cringe,2494 http://thecentralvoice.com/stories/jeffrey-epsteins-remarks-... This could be why Epstein may have seen gays as powerful allies for his anticipated prosecution on federal child sex-trafficking charges: http://lanternproject.org.uk/library/general/articles-and-information-about-sexual-abuse-and-its-impact/homosexuality-and-child-sexual-abuse/ http://lanternproject.org.uk/library/general/articles-and-in... It has also been suggested that Mr. Epstein's close friend and confidant Les Wexner is gay: https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/comments/i90f3v/epstein_and_lex_wexner_had_a_gay_relationship/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/comments/i90f3v/epstein_and...
