What's always bothered me is that in a world with news articles about Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein, Stallman's own offenses were pretty much just "things he said" (and not "things he did.")
It also seems like that could've launched a thoughtful and clarifying discussion about exactly what the harms were to minors -- but that instead, the conversation focused entirely on Stallman. (Drew DeVault reaches back literally 10 years to assemble the most damning sequence of Stallman quotes -- and then scrutinizes them just to criticize the possibility of narrow equivocations...)
