#3We can hope so. Free Software is needed in today’s society, probably more than it was needed at its inception. But it needs to be for everyone, and needs new leaders. I hope this is the start, not the end, of the movement.

#4It's a little unsettling that there is such an effort to give more importance to Stallman now, in his disgrace, than he ever had in reality.
He'd reached the point of being nearly forgotten until he shot his mouth off inopportunely and caught the full force of the outrage mob.

What was her complaint exactly? Are men not supposed to ask her out?

It is truely 2019 when Stallman gets nailed for something he didn’t say, while Wired, Vice and god knows how many medium blogs celebrate this as “progress”.
