Damning, but nothing that hasn’t already been talked about for a while now. Just formalizing the review. He’s a creep who did some cool things with software. It’s time to move on and leave him behind.
You might want to remember that he has done more to advance open source software than perhaps any other person on this planet. You don't get to take away someone's achievements just because you don't like them...
I gave him credit for that while also saying we shouldn't platform him or give him attention until and unless he recants and / or apologizes. Just like the report says.
Just curious what, precisely, you would expect him to recant or apologise for?
See the report and take your pick.
From what? I'm not sure what in the report you think needs apologising for. Did you actually read the report? Is there a sentence you can quote and say "he needs to apologise for this"?
I believe you're arguing in bad faith because the report makes it obvious what objectionable statements were made. Bye!
I disagree. The report claims there are disagreeable statements but when you actually look at the quotes of what Stallman said, they don't match the claims or conclusions of the report.
This is why I'm asking if you can actually quote something Stallman said.
I don't think you've actually read the report.
I skimmed the first handful of alleged harmful statements on two topics before deciding I wouldn't benefit from reading the whole thing.
