I don't know any of the people involved. But seeing stuff like: "Mr. Stallman’s behavior clearly has a basis in his handicap. " This is a strong claim but seems to be made without any explaination or evidence and it is surprising that I see many here seem to accept that without questioning it. Would an equivalent defense be made for Robert Long, that man who just murdered those Asian spa girls? I'm curious if there's a possible equivalence of what Bruce Perens is saying to that Georgia sherrif saying "He'd had a bad day". Seems like sympathy for perpetrators is reserved only for certain persons.
