- margalabargala 4y agoWhat you linked to: > Many years after posting this note, I had conversations with people who had been sexually abused as children and had suffered harmful effects. These conversations eventually convinced me that the practice is harmful and adults should not do it. The position you claim he holds, is the opposite of the opinion he holds. Do you believe that people should be judged based on the worst opinion they have ever held in their past, or based on the opinions they hold now?

- margalabargala 4y agoSo to be clear: 1) You believe people should be judged based on the opinions they hold now rather than their past opinions. 2) You think that the person's current opinion is different than they say it is, and are judging them based on what you imagine their true opinion to be, rather than what they say it is. Do you have specific basis for thinking he is lying? Stallman tends very much to voice his true opinion regardless of how it may be received, so if he claims to have changed his thinking I would tend to believe it unless there's an actual reason to think otherwise.

- ergonaught 4y agoSkepticism regarding a claim of harm in a specific circumstance does not constitute support of the behavior described. You’re pissed off by your interpretation of what he “meant” instead of what he actually wrote. This is the case for nearly every single person I’ve seen slandering him in this fashion. Frankly I wish he’d sue all of you into destitution.
