If those are to be counted as "throwing someone under a bus", then what about the person allegedly assaulted by Minsky? Isn't RMS also "throwing her under a bus" to win an internet argument?

Well, yes. There don't seem to be any good answers here. Handling it privately is not at all reliable and may result in the complainer getting privately blacklisted. Going public can be effective, but only if you make a major storm - the outcomes of which can no longer be controlled.

We don't know if people have tried to get RMS to get his act together. But this doesn't seem to be a first complaint out of nowhere.
