> Having a bed in his office at MIT is creepy as hell.

My understanding is that he slept (ie. lived) in his office, so having a bed there would be normal, not "creepy as hell."

Also, many professors have beds in their labs in case of long-running experiments. I've seen them and thought it was practical.

I read all of the related links about Stallman and didn't see any actual evidence.

What's odd about the US left is that they support Islam, which allows child brides as young as 9 yo (it happens every day.) Think about that for a moment before you get outraged about Stallman's personal views. So leftists, stop being creepy yourselves and get your own house in order before criticizing other people.

Are you insinuating that all Muslims support child marriage? Because it certainly seems like you are.

I'm a 'leftist', but also atheist, so I certainly don't support Islam. But I will tolerate people who believe in it. Same as I'll tolerate people who believe in Christianity, which has plenty of weird shit of its own.

Additionally, I'm opposed to the 'cancelling' of Richard Stallman. It's fucking stupid.

Maybe you should try to not paint all 'leftists' with this stupidly broad brush you're using.

Please don't take HN threads further into religious or ideological flamewar. This is just as damaging as the original post—more so, because if people just flagged these things instead of taking the bait and replying to them, then the flamewar wouldn't spread.

That's why the site guidelines include "Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead." a.k.a. Please don't feed the trolls.

Some of this has to do with the various dystopian regimes, war criminals, and other pshycopaths throughout the world sending hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars to all US universities or colleges of note.

There is an investigation ongoing that has Yale receiving $330+MM in unreported donations (illegal) from sanctioned countries and other comprising regimes. Tip of the ice berg.

Religious and ideological flamewar will get you banned here. No more of this, please.
