Have Bill gates in a sleep over, who will tell you the secrets to screwing people over and spyware tricks
or dining with the foot fungus eating master, Richard Stallman, who will explain in great detail about the origins of GNU and why that finnish guy made GNU largely small in the grand scheme of things.
It seems like you didn’t read the link I posted because the point is to demonstrate that he clearly hasn’t changed his opinion in any meaningful way. Using neurodivergence as an excuse for disgusting behavior is also silly af. His presence is harmful because of what it signals to people who have to work with him. That his views and inappropriate behavior (especially toward women) will be tolerated. It isn’t just ‘bad takes’, its sexually harassing people and normalizing pedophilia. Its very strange you seem to be so against bigotry in other threads but have a soft spot for this particular sex pest.
I read it when the author published it. I recognize the link.
I’m not using neurodivergence as an excuse but we are also talking about someone who didnt understand why its weird to pick your toenails in public and then put that in your mouth. Like i dunno who else does that. He also comes off very pedantic to a fault and overshares every little thing on his blog. I doubt he sees the issues of that or how that can be weaponized.
wrt to how it signals to the community, thats why i think he shouldn’t be the face of the FSF community.

Thats part of why. Hes a dumb pedantic oversharing idiot. I dont think thats a crime. Also sex pest implies he actively went out of his way to harass people. Which by now we would have heard more about. To me this is all smoke no fire almost manufactured. Hence my stance. Point me to the fire and ill change my stance about him.
again to reiterate. He shouldn’t be the face of the FSF community.
its very strange how you seem progressive but dont believe people can grow or change and that everyone must be exactly the same.
EDIT: RMS can fuck himself.
