- rich_sasha 6y agoWell, that’s tangible and something I can relate to. Though still seems far from Twitter mobs, seems better suited in a labour court or sth. But it also answers my question, and it sounds like perhaps FSF is itself not stoked to have him back.
- pseudalopex 6y agoNot all bad behavior is illegal. And people let Stallman get away with a lot because they believed public criticism of Stallman would undermine the free software movement or their careers.
- rich_sasha 6y agoDunno, excessively annoying behaviour by your boss at work is illegal. If for example there are unpleasantly sexual conversations. I’m not saying he is doing such things, just that this is the first tangible bit of accusation I’m seeing, that is actually actionable.
- twic 6y agoThese sound bad, but it's notable that they don't contain any concrete examples. These could easily just be smears.
- pseudalopex 6y ago#3 has a specific example. Their stories are consistent with non FSF employees' stories. Bradley Kuhn painted a similar picture.[1] What's more likely? [1] http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html
