Why should anyone be subjected to RMS’ opinion on the age of consent? Or the Epstein case? RMS created this situation by injecting his unwanted opinions into to public sphere and now he’s rightfully paying the price for that.

You don't have to visit RMS' personal website if you don't want to be "subjected" to his opinions. As for the Minsky defence, Stallmans position is an entirely rational one and the world would be a much better place if more people would stand up to defend those being attacked by the mob.

  > As for the Minsky defence, Stallmans position is an entirely rational one and the world would be a much better place if more people would stand up to defend those being attacked by the mob. You're talking about defending a client in a child sex trafficking ring. That is absolutely disgusting and irrational. It does nothing but harm the free software movement, just as RMS' many other actions have done.

    Yet again you crawl on this forum to spread unproven allegations. Case against Minsky is based on one witness testimony which is contradictes by the testimony of another witness. This was never tried in court, yet, you, time and again, present this allegation as a proven fact. Moreover, the whole ordeal is reported in a very unspecific and imprecise manner, which Stallman rightfully criticized. He also had never defended Epstein. Your account here exists only for a crusade against Stallman, and i think that this site rules forbid that.

      > Case against Minsky is based on one witness testimony which is contradictes by the testimony of another witness Absolutely false, you've fabricated this. Again, RMS' defense of his friend's involvement in a child sex trafficking ring is indefensible and those of you trying to defend it are dragging our industry and free software ideals through the mud. You're harming every single initiative you claim to support. There was no reason for RMS to talk about the Minsky case, fabricate a secnario involving Epstein's victims or discuss lowering the age of consent. None. It was a bullet in the head of the FSF. > Your account here exists only for a crusade against Stallman, and i think that this site rules forbid that. Again, incorrect. Yes I'm bothered by the toxicity being displayed by RMS' supporters, because I care about having a healthy work environment. I post about plenty of other things too though.
