I met Jacob Appelbaum on 2018 when we invited him to an event we organized. Although he seemed like a troubled person, he was very nice to the staff all the time. What I did notice was that he was harrassed by a woman trying to seduce him even during his talks. I doubt he would be a rapist. At least at that time, he was the victim. I have heard allegations both ways. But I have seen no proof against or in favour of him. Util I see something verifiable, I will think allegations against him are just gossip. I do think that there are people that do bad things. But gossip is the worst way to stop them. I rather think that the people that gossip are usually the agressors, as were the cases against Richard Stallman and Julian Assange. People that do not want to be victims must seek help, not attack others that might be public figures and which might not have anything to do with the abuse those people suffered from someone else. Victims usually victimize others, not their agressors because they fear the agressors. But that does not benefit anyone. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfellowship.eu https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion
