I've met RMS in real life and talked to him on multiple occasions. He can absolutely take care of himself and it's a little insulting to RMS to say that he can't. (Who took care of him between when he left his job at MIT and when the FSF got enough funding to hire him an assistant, if he wasn't taking care of himself?)

People with a manic depressive disorder can have both great highs and deep lows at different periods. We should be tolerant of everyone as much as we can.

- watwut 6y ago> make totally inappropriate jokes or comments (that makes them even more funny) That is completely different if you are but of those jokes and if you know that those jokes are funny to people, because they express what others think about you.
