    he defended a former colleague against allegations of child abuse.

    You can’t just believe everything you read on Twitter.

    The source is quite public, so it’s better to go to that source.

        For the intent of figuring out what he said, he did not say that such-and-such actions are defensible.

        Rather than talking in big circles round the issue, it’s better to just look at the truth of the matter. Do you, or do you not believe that saying someone who slept with a twenty year old has committed “sexual assault” could be misleading?

            I didn’t characterise any story. I asked a simple question, to return to the matter in question, rather than side tracking. This is more side tracking.

            Do you, or do you not believe that saying someone who slept with a twenty year old has committed “sexual assault” could be misleading?

                This is the question I asked, twice. It’s also the original question asked by Stallman.

                I’m not sure how you want to show evidence that the question I’m asking is not “the question”. It’s a question, it’s one I’ve asked, and one you’re apparently incapable of answering.

                If this isn’t the point you’re making, then don’t be surprised when other people’s questions - including Stallman’s - are not there to facilitate your points.

                Neither does a 20 year old feature in this story,

                The story pertains to Stallman precisely because of his initial demand for clarity.
