Here are some debunkings for your leisurely reading: <a href="https://stallmansupport.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://stallmansupport.org/</a></p><p>Stallman isn't capable of interacting with women, let alone abusing them, let alone <em>anything</em> with them.</p><p>He was always weird and awkward. His story about an event that occured in the 1980s where Stallman was <a href="https://stallman.org/articles/texas.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">"performing rhinophytonecrophilia" (aka smelling flowers) in front of group of Texas Instruments engineers</a> is what endeared him to me and why these bastards' continual abuse of Stallman bothers me so much - I am about as weird and awkward as he is, but not as high functioning (alas). This is a quote from one of those who had witnessed the act (more in <a href="https://stallman.org/articles/texas.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the link</a>):</p><pre><code> There were certain people at TI who were excited about the chance to
talk with a truly legendary Lisp machine expert and were anxious to
learn. Others had decided that they knew enough already and what do
we need to hire consultants for 'cause I can figure out this machine
and those MIT guys can't walk on water and I don't care who he is,
I'm not gonna be impressed and . . . well, you get the idea.
The plant incident, which I found rather humorous, provided a reason
for people in the later camp to become offended. This was convenient
as they had been looking for one. They were subsequently able to blow
it to suitable proportions to gain the attention of management.</code></pre><p>Nothing ever changes. It's the same stuck up pearl clutching puritans now as back then.</p><p>Drew Devault and his Software Freedom Conservancy commissars keep calling him dangerous and abusive because they can't bring themselves to say he's autistic and weird and retarded, like the schoolyard bullies they are.</p><p>They confuse being awkward in front of women with sexual abuse.</p><p>They confuse Stallman's shotgun <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilpul" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">talmudic pilpulim</a> he writes on his blog with sexual abuse.</p><p>They're vile people who would ban anyone who isn't a cookie cutter <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StepfordSmiler" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Stepford Smiler</a> corpo-brand-conscientious replica of themselves from contributing to Free Software.
