What random accusations am I "spreading so wildly"? The fact that Stallman is being accused of various kinds of sexual misconduct is a fact. I did not anywhere claim they were true. I'm pointing it out because it makes the points above stand on shakier ground.

The article you shared also fails to defend many of the accusations against Stallman and completely ignores them, for example the "Emacs virgin girl" situation.

Technically, what you did was to insinuate, not directly accuse. Which one is worse?

Since you seem to have a great interest in this, do have any concrete reference to the “Emacs virgin” situation? I have only a vague recollection that Stallman was referring to anyone who had not used Emacs yet as an “Emacs virgin”, and some people took it as meaning some kind of sex thing.

(Any other references to the “many of the accusations against Stallman” that wasn’t referenced in the linked article would also be interesting to see.)

There are so many snowflakes in the tech world right now. Horrible.
