    What holes do you see in the logic of this document?

    Here’s from the modlog:

    Removed Comment

    when he threatened suicide if Betsy did not agree to date him

    I skipped to the section on allegations of misconduct and stopped reading here. They just quoted Stallman saying he didn’t threaten suicide and then the (nameless, cowardly) authors immediately say “he theratened suicide”. Despicable. There is nobody to back up Betsy’s side. There’s no response from Betsy to Stallman’s recent comments in the incident. And yet this is the first “corroborated” example they come out with.

    This site is another insidious hit piece. I pity the authors that they’re so twisted and power-hungry in their relentless attacking of a man who has clearly suffered for having a different mind to most and yet also contributed so much. Much more, I would guess, than these snakes will ever contribute.

    reason: being a weirdo

    If you want to be the BDFL and public face of a large organization, it’s not enough to be technically correct. You also need to be someone who is at least tolerable to interact with.

    By the same token, if you want to attack a respected hacker, you need to not talk bollocks.
