I read a lot on the matter and concluded RMS's commentary was aloof, tone deaf, and stupid for him to be making. His comments from more than 10 years ago on age of consent and child pornography are also highly problematic.

It's also rather disappointing that it will be harder to cite him and be taken seriously on other issues where his commentary is more relevant and correct. The FSF and GNU are good things. To have the founder seen as pro pedophile is not a good look.

Well, I pulled my recurring donation. It's not much ($10/mo) but I cannot and will not accept those kinds of statements from Stallman along with complete inaction and passing the buck from the FSF board.
