Have Bill gates in a sleep over, who will tell you the secrets to screwing people over and spyware tricks
or dining with the foot fungus eating master, Richard Stallman, who will explain in great detail about the origins of GNU and why that finnish guy made GNU largely small in the grand scheme of things.
Hes also spoken up about the inherent power imbalances between an adult and a minor. Maybe read what he has to say from his blog than reading what other people have cherry picked for you to create a narrative.

Go read the rest of his blog then and come back. Youd at least see this man is neurodivergent as hell.

Good for you but not all neurodivergence is the same. Assuming that is silly af.
Its more the principle that people can grow and their opinions can grow and change over time. People can make people accidentally feel uncomfortable due to their awkwardness.
Has this person actually done anything harmful or influenced anything harmful apart from some bad takes. I don’t think so. I dont think hes a good face for the FSF. But i also dont think he should be exiled.

I read it when the author published it. I recognize the link.
I’m not using neurodivergence as an excuse but we are also talking about someone who didnt understand why its weird to pick your toenails in public and then put that in your mouth. Like i dunno who else does that. He also comes off very pedantic to a fault and overshares every little thing on his blog. I doubt he sees the issues of that or how that can be weaponized.
wrt to how it signals to the community, thats why i think he shouldn’t be the face of the FSF community.

Thats part of why. Hes a dumb pedantic oversharing idiot. I dont think thats a crime. Also sex pest implies he actively went out of his way to harass people. Which by now we would have heard more about. To me this is all smoke no fire almost manufactured. Hence my stance. Point me to the fire and ill change my stance about him.
again to reiterate. He shouldn’t be the face of the FSF community.
its very strange how you seem progressive but dont believe people can grow or change and that everyone must be exactly the same.
EDIT: RMS can fuck himself.
