The witch hunt continues:

My first thought: this is exactly what they (those who attacked rms) wanted. Divide and conquer.

My second thought: how has Stallman's behavior over the years undermined the empowerment of all computer users?

My last thought: why didn't the people making the statement explicitly state the behaviour(s) they believe to undermine?

@rah

1. RMS divides.

2. Discouraging women from direct involvement in GNU.

3. Because it's (2), outlined in the Medium post that launched this, and people have been disturbed by it for years but thought removing rms was just not wihin reach.

@clacke You're not communicating very well. Your response just seems like a pithy dismissal. You've provided glib answers to important questions without providing any references to back up what you're saying.

@rah He has his EMACS Virgins routine, and singles out women in the audience. He has on repeated occasions been dismissive of women's concerns around how projects and conferences are run. People working in FSF and GNU have said that women avoid putting themselves in a situation where they need to meet him. He broke the CoC at a conference and refused to back down, and nobody felt empowered to enforce it because he is rms.

There are sources for these things spread out in different fora i'ver the years, but for now geekfeminism.wikia.org/wiki/Ri… will have to do.

@clacke You're still not communicating well. You haven't responded to the specific questions I asked and instead have just presented a list of note-form complaints. Presumably you expect your readers to go off and convince themselves that what you say isn't nonsense rather than you putting in the effort to communicate properly and intelligently. (1/2)
