For Richard, I am not defending Richard for reasons of him being celebrity. I am not "proud" on Richard, I don't know why would I be, I never was thinking of it neither feeling anything about it. I know that I owe to Dr. Stallman, at least I owe him what he teach me through his speeches and videos, and that is to be correct person. Neither I am speaking for "symbol" of Dr. Stallman. In defense of Dr. Richard Stallman, I do not defend Stallman, I defend estabished legal justice system, which is not perfect, but is way more perfect than mob justice system. In defense of Dr. Richard Stallman, I defend free speech, and that means for everybody. As free speech is protected, and that means it is protected by legal justice system. And I stand for facts, as "what they do" how you said, and you implied to what Dr. Stallman does, and that implies that he expressed few opinions, I think that if one is accusing anybody, one should bring evidences to show that there was harm done, and person harmed should appear and make the harm evident. And if there is no harm, nonsense should stop, accusations should stop and the mob and media shall stop spreading humiliating fake news. In all remarks that media was mischaracterizing Stallman's opinions, he was either making remarks to journalism, and was standing for just reporting, he strived to point out false accusations in newspapers or articles. It is character of programmers or hackers to look into grammar accurately, and to think logically, analyse, dissect, and strive for exactness. So far I know, Richard was reading articles and publishing his public opinions and those all based on such analysis, exactness, attempts to correct some journalistic reporting, attempts to call for just system, he basically always strived to minimize the mob justice. When making laws, law makers have duty and obligation to make sure that words are expressed concisely, that everything is very clear and that future interpretation of the law cannot possibly include innocent people or open a loophole for such abuse. That is what Richard was speaking about, he is picky to definitions, words and how words are used. He does not like words being used out of the context. Then he defended realistically Professor Minsky, and somebody got an emotional reaction, Selam published it on Internet, and there it was, the never expected Spanish Inquisition to cancel Richard down. My god. He defended Minsky for knowing Minsky, who he is, who we are to tell that he is not right? At least one other person stands as witness to Stallman, saying that Minsky is not guilty: https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/339725/ Now when there is evidence that Minsky was not guilty, and that defense of Minsky's honour by Dr. Stallman is based on their personal relation -- after looking into all that, I see absolutely nothing wrong. I see exactly what Richard pointed out, inflation of accusations, this time against Stallman. I can clearly look what is going on, the only thing that I do not know is who is really benefiting of GNU people getting divided on political correctness. The party that I can find that is benefiting from such rumors on Internet is media in general. It is my feeling that media does know which keywords to watch, and if anybody have mentioned a keyword "Epstein" -- then anything connected and related to Epstein becomes a media product, and such is being sold. Example is Stallman, as he made few opinions about his fellow Minsky, in one way or other connected to Epstein. Example is also Bill Gates, look at this Internet search: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=bill+gates+epstein&atb=v154-3am&ia=news Formula to get media attention and to sell media to emotional mob is simple: 1. Find the current keywords, find the trend that is attracting mob. 2. Find celebrities who have expressed any opinion related to current controversial keywords or have been in connection with them. 3. Twist words to raise more emotional charge, and sell articles for money and profit. 4. Call for more emotional charges, and sell more articles for money and profit. 5. Go to step number 2. above and repeat the process. 6. If the trending keyword such as Epstein or pedophilia is exhausted, find a new keyword, and do the drill all over again. Jean
