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 …

I like what he's done for free software. But there is a bigger picture. No one should be punished for having opinions, even if they are awful.

I don't know anyone's calling for punishment for his opinions per se. Rather, they're reacting to his abusive behavior over decades, and working to try to prevent future additional harm to the people, organizations, and social movements at the periphery.
