This basically refuses to acknowledge the problem.
It links RMS' statement
> Occasionally I learned something about relationships and social skills, so over the years I've found ways to get better at these situations. When people help me understand an aspect of what went wrong, and that shows me a way of treating people better, I teach myself to recognize when I should act that way. I keep making this effort, and over time, I improve.
This, alas, is not true. This has been refuted by FSF staff: he has been saying and doing sexist shit over the decades. A report was made about the sexism at MIT CSAIL in 1983. If that's not enough time to change, nothing is.
He has been defending raping of children for, I do not even know how long. https://archive.is/P0Rvb https://archive.is/P0Rvb 2003? at least that's the earliest this article dug up.
The very problem is that he does not improve over more than thirty years.
- pseudalopex 6y agoHe changed his mind eventually about children being able to consent to sex. But he does make himself sound more receptive to feedback than Bradley Kuhn and other people who worked with him say.[1] [1] http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html
