Richard Stallman is the reason I didn’t start contributing to open source (then called “free software”) in the 90s. I’m not the only one. He and his followers pushed out a whole generation of female developers, just at that critical time when open source adoption was widening.https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/993677847280562178 …

Now Stallman has the unmitigated gall to suggest that removing his disgusting jokes (& believe me, the jokes weren’t the half of it) will KEEP WOMEN OUT. RMS my dude...if you want more women in open source, the best possible thing you could do is leave & never come back.

To this day: - I will not knowingly use any software he wrote. - I will not contribute to any project he's associated with. - I will not attend or speak at any conference where he's present. - I will not promote the aims of any organization he's affiliated with.

Replying to @sarahmei
Do you apply this "everything you've touched is dead to me" strategy to every man you don't find attractive who asks you out on a date?

"Your entire life is garbage." - is that your response to any male who doesn't meet your standards for beauty? Ugly girl asks out hot guy = no, thanks. Ugly guy asks out non-ugly girl = OMG you misogynistic cisgender toxic scumbag harasser male! Don't you know you're disgusting?
