Finding affordable, safe housing is difficult, as well as emotionally fraught. But countless people in the world face this problem right now. Why help this one, especially when you are so well aware of how he has denigrated, belittled, & pushed women out of tech for decades?

That's on him. On our part we have to be humane.
If you suffer because of the consequences of your harmful behaviour or because set boundaries upon you, it's not the fault of the ones calling out your harmful actions. You can learn, change, apologise. You can't expect the ppl you harmed to do the work.

I agree -- but instead of using the opportunity to teach Stallman, people went directly into "cancelling" him.
-
So, how many decades of refusal to learn and continue to cause massive harm would you think to be appropriate? The point of "directly" is long, long over. You are harming his victims when expecting them to do anything other than set the most consequential boundaries they can.
-
Even now after experiencing serious consequences there is not the slightest sign of understanding, remorse or change. Why do you advocate to continue letting him get away with harming others due to his position?
-
I haven't seen anyone advocate for letting him continue to harm folks.
-
Anyone being homeless is bad and a serious flaw in the system. But this is victim blaming and advocating to not set boundaries and consequences upon someone who harms you and others.
-
This is a super shitty take, I agree, but it does not advocate letting him harm people.
-
It is, because it blames the person who called out the harmful actions. It's just another way to say: "you shouldn't have called out this in that way, look how he's suffering now!" The only alternative to calling out is to let him continue, if you accept a 30y experiment as proof
