Richard M. Stallman resigns
RMS was defending his friend who, at the age of 74, is accused of having sex with a 17 year old girl on a billionaire's private island.There is not a defense for what RMS was writing or how he was trying to defend Minsky.The prevalence of comments trying to turn this against "SJW"s or whatever "other" they can because they're a fan of RMS is disturbing.This isn't us vs. them.This is a man who said something wildly inappropriate in an MIT forum and got fired.  He deserved it.  Defending him by pointing towards people who overreact to things is a bit terrible.The firing was appropriate and reasonable, not a response to extremists, zealots, or some other kind of witch.I welcome anyone to provide a counter-argument.
