- krapp 2y agoFeel free to trudge through any of the dozens of threads and literal thousand-plus comment discussions on HN about the matter, or any of the articles written online, some by people who have known RMS for years. I'm not relitigating any of it here, as I know full well how utterly futile it would be to even attempt.

- krapp 2y agoYou missed the part where you probably weren't there, so you didn't see anything from a distance, and the way it "feels" to you doesn't really matter, because it didn't happen to you. Also that being socially awkward and a sexual predator are not mutually exclusive, so bringing up the former to dismiss the credibility of claims of the latter doesn't even make sense.
