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 …

Once more for the folks in the back: “FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IS NOT WORTH MORE THAN ACTUAL WOMEN AND GIRLS”https://twitter.com/mandylibrary/status/1172308206917308419 …

Literally just spent the past few days dealing with a local nutter defending RMSs pedophilia apologia. Free and open source software is not worth more than actual women and girls.

For the record: I give zero fucks about Stallman’s gross personal habits. I save all my fucks for the way he systematically and consistently acts to push women, girls, disabled people, and other folks from marginalized groups OUT of software.

Oh for fucks sake. The Free Software Foundation was founded by a child porn/rape apologist, who continues to be on the board, and you seriously think this question even needs asking? Let me clue you in: NO. https://twitter.com/wwahammy/status/1073619366057512960 …

We shouldn’t #cancelstallman because his ideas are abhorrent. We should do it because he has acted in abhorrent ways, deliberately & consistently, over 30 years, despite repeated feedback, & because in so doing he’s pushed countless women, girls, & others out of software.

Again. Who the fuck are you to cancel Stallman from FSF??? Cancel yourself. You have a sad and a miserable life without any meaning what so ever.

Asiri -> Stallman cannot represent any community or group saying those things Somebody to leave space in the brooms room and place him there so he could keep saying asshole things to anyone who wants to pay attention to him. Not me.

That said, I don't care how evil a free software contributor is as long as that person can provide meaningful contributions to the free software. Like Stallman has always done with his philosophies and licenses. He could be the world biggest terrorist I don't care.

Nm, this sums up your values. Maybe think about this: Stallman caused many to leave the FOSS community, but what if they would have contributed more than him? Should we allow that behaviour *anywhere*? What about if this was about non-white people, what would you think then?
