Richard M. Stallman resigns
I&#x27;m so relieved to find that at least on hacker news people can still evaluate this situation with reason. Out there it&#x27;s a witch hunt and Stallman is now a witch.<p>RMS is a great man but sadly has difficulties communicating with the wider world. This has been true of many great minds throughout history. It&#x27;s sad to see it happen to one of my own heroes but I believe history will do him justice if we continue to fight for free software.<p>I wish somebody would have simply advised him not to speak on such matters because nothing good could become of it. Maybe he needed a PR manager. That sounds awful, but apparently this is what the world wants: carefully filtered speech that doesn&#x27;t stray far from what people already agree with.
