Stallman's only mistake was equivocation. He should have held firm and never apologized. It just gives ammunition to his enemies. So he didn't actually do anything wrong, even by the author's admission. But if it makes someone uncomfortable, that is enough. I submit that abortion can make people uncomfortable. Or defunding police. Or supporting/opposing military actions. Presumably the author doesn't consider those beliefs to warrant ostracizing. Instead, it's only some politics, and conveniently the ones that they dont like. We have to stop this nonsense! No one should feel their livlihood is at risk because of politics and consent laws.
