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.8 replies 160 retweets 669 likesShow this thread -

Updates: Stallman posted what might be the worst non-apology I’ve ever read (and I’ve read a LOT of non-apologies). https://twitter.com/theamyshim/status/1172946689553887232 … The

Note what this apology includes: - a laser-like focus on his OWN experience of the incident - am attempt to shift blame to the media for “mischaracterizing” his words Note also what it does NOT include: - NO regret for having made the comments - NO plan to do better next time

- NO empathy for the primary victims: people who were upset when they read the actual email - NO hint, even, of awareness of those folks, despite one of them having written the medium post that kicked this all off

This is exactly the sort of bullshit he’s gotten away with for 30 years. NOT THIS TIME.

Stallman has resigned from MIT, still claiming it was due to a “misunderstanding” Dude, we understand you JUST fine. That’s the problem.https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbm74x/computer-scientist-richard-stallman-resigns-from-mit-over-epstein-comments …

Let’s not forget that he got that plum job at MIT due entirely to his position as
@fsf founder, president and board chair. That is his platform. That is the source of his power. Should the@fsf fail to remove him, he’ll use that platform to continue to poison our communities.4 replies 23 retweets 110 likesShow this thread -
What communities? He created the free software community. People out for blood keep twisting his words. We've lost a great activist today.

I guess you’re ok with his “autistic people are like pets” thing, his “consensual sexual relationships CAN exist between children & adults” thing, and his “necrophilia & bestiality should be legal” thing.
All of which he’s said explicitly in public. Nice hero you’ve got there

He's autistic himself, and so am I. You also are twisting his words and I just can't be bothered. I'm a long term supporter of his and find today's news only a bad thing for freedom.
