I think the idea is, let’s not revere or put in power people who do/say/espouse these kinds of views

Stallman is a legend, which means he has a great distance to fall. His point was lost in the fray. I wish he could’ve just kept it to a private conversation with a friend.

Obviously no child can consent to being pimped, for money or otherwise.

It was actually a private conversation.

A large university department mailing list is hardly a private conversation. One of the participants in that conversation even referenced the thread inevitably being sent to the press.
