    I’m in the last column with the exception of thinking RMS is a misogynistic transphobe asshole

        And the reason free software exists.

        Also one of the only people I’ve seen who routinely attempts to ensure people don’t insult each other (like you have) on the mailing lists he frequents, so he gets another point in my book.

          Mmm, people only get so many bites at the “vociferously defending pedorasty’” apple before you’re written off in my eyes. He is far beyond that point, even after decades of having to listen to people make appeals to authority.

            Did you actually read the what he wrote, or did you read what others wrote about him?

            Consider the fact that he promotes an ideology that is extremely dangerous to various powerful people; it would be naive to assume none have tried to weaken his message by presenting him in various ways.

            As to his latest controversy, if you actually read what he wrote, and understand that he chooses his words very carefully, you will see that he did not say anything controversial at all.
