Leah Rowe (maintainer of Libreboot) perfectly sums up my feelings on Stallman in two emails:

"The sad thing is that RMS is one of the champions of womens rights in
the free software world. He has said some stupid things in the past,
but he's a really nice guy and really supportive. He's always there to
answer emails and offer guidance on things. He is one of my role models."
"He accepted my project (Libreboot) into the GNU project, after I came
out as transgender for instance. It didn't phase him at all."
"The thing is, I think Richard is probably high-functioning autistic... like me. He says stupid things sometimes, without taking into account how other people will feel (because he can't. which is OK. I don't understand other peoples emotions either)."
As someone who is on the autism spectrum, the symptoms are obvious. RMS clearly is autistic, and fails at social interaction, as do I. I don't think that justifies the very blatant quote mining Vice did. Stallman has always been a very progressive person, if you ever paid attention to his website he would constantly call for people to campaign for women's rights, queer rights, etc. He's never treated anyone unfairly based on who they are. I've talked to him before, he's a genuinely nice person.
I don't really care if I loose followers over this, I'm very tired of being quiet about it.
