Is that a misrepresentation?

I mean, I'm not familiar with that story, just they linked [this tweet](https://twitter.com/corbett/status/994012399656042496) which says:

> My first interaction with RMS was at a hacker con at 19. He asked my name, I gave it, whether I went to MIT (I had an MIT shirt on), and after confirmation I did, asked me on a date. I said no. That was our entire conversation. Christine, yes, no thanks.

Her story emphasizes that he had no other interest in talking to her. Wired obscures that. I don't think it was malicious, though.
