There have been many examples. I myself have typed what I personally witnessed multiple times. I'll just put it this way today: I saw more than enough for him to be fired and more than enough for him to be demoted from his leadership r

Enabling the kind of behavior that RMS has been reported to have engaged in (reported by myself among others) is the evil path. Firing people for violating the standards of their org is a good idea. It should be done more often.

He did a LOT more than voice opinions. That's how you get fired. You do a LOT of shit and then finally you do the last thing that you end up doing before your org decides that you have to go. Don't be willfully ignorant.

There are many, many, many reports. The fact that you are focusing on one and then questioning the veracity of just that one report to make an argument like this is vile. Vile. As in if this is the way you're rolling you are vile. Lite

nope. the means justify the means. what I am saying is that in this situation, in this society, in this instance, I see a lot of people saying a lot about a lot of things that he did that should have ended his role at MIT and should have re

just ignoring hundreds and hundreds of characters. all of which deal with behavior towards women, just to pull this one string that you could respond to. absurd and terrifying.

I think you are underestimating a factor here. RMS spent many years of his life traveling around, sofa surfing, giving talks. There are probably tens of thousands of people that have hosted him or facilitated his being onsite with them in s

OK, friend. What about this "twitter nobody?" First hand, eyes-on experience. RMS grabbing asses. RMS cornering a coworker. Coworker locking herself in a room because she couldn't get away from him. RMS not even hearing what

Using this to erase the many, many reports of his behavior is tragic. You're pulling one thread and saying that the rest don't exist. This is the central activity of rape culture. I've seem RMS at work first hand and my exper

Have you not read the MANY first hand reports of what the guy did on a daily basis? He is not a good person and his interaction with women, particularly young women has been reported on, so, so, so many times by so many people. Look around,

Have you ever had to work with RMS when young women were in the room? Have you ever been called by a woman who has locked herself in a conference room to get away from RMS? Have you ever had to deal with the legitimately batshit crazy narci

I only have one answer and it is the one that worked for me after 30 years of trying. Trying meaning trying to be mindful, advocating for and using meditation spaces in the office and leading meditation groups, product managing a meditation

Is it inevitable? That indicates a teleology and feels to this reader like a bogus question. Is it structural ? Oh hell yes it is.

I do not think that it is dialogically interesting to critique the reporting when the subject matter is clearly what is in scope here. As with any new reporting if you have interest in a broader context or more details after consuming a sto

Tech company indicates a "plan" to do something that they implicitly assured everyone that they'd be doing from the get go. I question how much effort, cost and what the timeline would be to build the logistics to realize thi

I very nearly did that ten years ago. I had been at the same firm from age 23 until 38 and had started at a very junior level and had advanced to the most senior possible level in that time. I made a horizontal move to another firm and the
