I think it would be rude under different circumstances but this is information that he already shared semi-publicly and would've shared with OP had OP been able to make it. Also I get the feeling that Stallman is enough of a pragmatist to not get too offended about that sort of thing though I could be wrong.
- 93po 3y agoI personally think the more appropriate request would be to first research instead of asking him to answer your question, and if incomplete, secondly to kindly show interest in him, at some further point, discussing this more in a public way when he feels ready to do so. Obv he doesn't seem to mind the question. Just my approach.
- sentientslug 3y agoIt sounds like you’re not familiar with Stallman. He balks at such social constructs. Watch any video of him speaking and you’ll understand.
- 93po 3y agoI appreciate the feedback - you're right I'm not familiar. I appreciated learning that.
