Richard Stallman resigns from the FSF

>And what of all the other things he's said in public on the topic?
You mean the single comment that everyone keeps bringing up about there being little evidence for the claim that voluntary sexual acts are harmful? That statement of his was pretty reasonable considering there is very little research on the topic and the little there is (rind et al. for example) don't really support the claim either.

No wonder the views of Stallman who is a hopeless pedant and always gets stuck arguing about the semantics and nuances would seem very outrageous and controversial when most people dissmiss the discussion right away.

>The *decades* of history?
Is there something else that he has said on the topic that would be relevant? I've only seen people bring up this single sentence comment he made nearly two decades ago. Single comment can hardly be considered "decades of history".

>it's no wonder you'd start mistaking the comments on sites like HN, Slashdot and Reddit as “sane”.
HN, Reddit and LWN have been pretty insane when it comes to this particular character assassination campaign.
Most of the comments on Slashdot however seem to have been reasonably sane. Perhaps they actually took a moment to understand what he said, who knows.
