I've tweeted for many years about how awful Richard "RMS" Stallman is - the pedophilia, the ableism, the misogyny. Inevitably, each time I do, dudes examine my receipts & then say "all those incidents are from years ago! he's changed now!" NOPE.https://medium.com/@selamie/remove-richard-stallman-fec6ec210794 …

Stallman is Patient Zero of tech assholes.

And he's allowed to be an asshole considering how much he's contributed and how indispensable he is to tech. When you accomplish one-billionth of what he has, you can be a total jerk too.

When the peak of your "accomplishments" are shrieking on twitter and telling on your betters, it can be confusing encountering someone who's actually contributed to society. Maybe one day, you'll be more than a crushing disappointment in your parents' eyes, keep trying :)

I am actually pretty comfortable with my accomplishments thanks. Meanwhile, RMS is still a misogynist who condones pedophilia, and our industry would be immeasurably stronger and better without him and his supporters.
