Richard Stallman and the GNU project

> I don't agree that complaints against Stallman are useless because they are anonymous.

OK, that's good to know.

> All I see is a clumsy and lonely man, and that is not a crime.

Who has said it's a crime?

> But should he be subjected to this online assassination and humiliation, and negation of his life's work?

I'd say the first is a bit extreme, but not too inaccurate description. I'd call it more along the lines of "his behavior has been problematic for quite a while and it took until now for the stresses to break such that people were willing to speak openly about it". The second has been happening for quite a while already (the foot video primarily). With this, I'm not seeing much humiliation going on. Or rather, I don't see anyone doing Ralph from The Simpsons "ha ha" kind of stuff. Maybe there's some more subtle things going on, but I avoid Twitter and those echo chambers.

Negation? Who has called for tearing down Free Software? The FSF? GNU? GPL (other than those who have been doing *that* for years anyways)? EMACS? GCC? I don't see anyone pulling an "I quit" fit from free software because of this. Have you?
