I was expecting a terrible non-apology from Stallman, but this is even worse than I thought it would be. #cancelstallmanhttps://twitter.com/theamyshim/status/1172946689553887232 …

I seek understanding about the structure of his apology. I'm not claiming to know the negative effects he's had on the world so I'm trying to consider just the statement alone.
Just the apology is about how hurt he is and how everyone was mean to him for using his words against him. I don’t think he was mischaracterized with the exception of people not pointing out that he called Epstein a rapist.
But he also says Epstein (and Minsky) probably weren’t to blame. For it is an uptight society that is wrong, not RMS and his views/actions/statements.
You can't just consider the statement alone. He's been harming people in the tech world for THREE DECADES. Sarah has been talking about this for THREE DECADES. How many THOUSANDS of women, girls, NB, black, brown, trans, gay, lesbian, people did he help push away from tech?
My exploration of this as a human is mine alone. I need information in a format I can understand. And so I must look at pieces as I have identified.
