If you have any friends who think it was an overreaction to fire Stallman over one email thread, or who persist in nitpicking what he did or did not say in said email thread, send them this: https://medium.com/@thomas.bushnell/a-reflection-on-the-departure-of-rms-18e6a835fd84 …

i believe there is a huge difference between people like kavanaugh and weinstein and people like stallman. stallman did what he did because he was autistic, needed affection or sth like that. he did not use his power or hide. i feel sorry for him.

That just throws us with autism under a bus. Sensing and expressing emotions is difficult and different, but we are not emotionless and unfeeling of affection. Do not use us for excuses or for pity, it is very degrading.

i did not mean to imply that autistic people are creepy or harm others. i am sorry if it came out like this. i just said i have understanding if sb with autism does not get the social codes. imo rms does not get social codes and harms mostly himself with his behavior

We do have trouble with social codes but fitting into a nuerotypical society requires much thought, planning, and paradoxes. Every situation I am in at least for myself, I am constantly evaluating if what I am doing is proper.This is very much on our minds every moment in public.

If something I say is bad and has constant negative consequences for me, I always try my best to correct it by adjusting how I interact with society. We are fully capable of it, although if you never try and ignore things that goes to the person themselves.

RMS just appears to completely and willfully ignore others and only sets himself as the center, and people like that regardless of who they are (autism or not) tend to end up as toxic people.

For sure he does that. I have read some of his stuff many years ago and he seemed to me like an absolute freedom freak. I started this discussion bc I found the whole thing an overreaction.
