Re: Not very accurate

Which kind of leaves us with: 'Has Stallman been charged with any crime?"

The answer, I think is: No.

Which leaves us with a bunch of accusations from others, along with statements by Stallman (in and out of context) that many/some/a few people find reprehensible/worrying/inconvenient/disturbing/mildly distracting.

In other words, people are free to make up their own minds, for better and for worse based on whatever they believe to be the truth, and to act accordingly. If the FSF makes a decision to re-instate Stallman, it would seem they are perfectly entitled to do so.

Is Stallman a 'nice' person? I have no idea. In truth very few of us are all that nice, and plenty of us have plenty of reasons to be ashamed of ourselves over things said and done; and yet we still have to earn a living, look after others and try and find our way in the world in spite of our failings - hopefully a way for the better.

That's it really - another outrage de jour will be along directly if we do not find this one adequately diverting.
