There is a new religion forming among those who have largely rejected religions of the past and Stallman is guilty of blasphemy. If he only loses his job he will be far luckier than others who are guilty of similar blasphemy.

He was defending his friend who, at the age of 74, is accused of having sex with a 17 year old girl on a billionaire's private island.

I think that's blasphemy to anyone with an once of reason and compassion in this world.

It is not zealotry of some new paranoid movement that drove RMS failure. It was reason and good judgement.
