We were talking about software and philosophy, if you attack the person and not the ideas I think you are lacking arguments.

About what he said, I did not see him saying rape is Ok,

Anyway I would love to see your reaction if say you watch a porn video and later will surface that the actor was 17 years old, then all the press will say that you are watching child porn, you are assumed guilty and get fired and never find a job.

Your friends that would try to say that maybe we should get all the facts get also fired because "he is a child porn apologist".

Just think about it, in fact I don't wish this to happen to anybody, I read about a case where a guy was accused and he was innocent, he lost his job and was forcefully separated from his children, my point is go easy with the accusations you won't like it to happen to you.

I have this recollection of something like that actually happening. IIRC, a man was on trial for watching child porn because they believed the actress was underage. The actress herself had to literally show up in court with identification to prove that she was not underage at the time the film was made.

The fact that she had to do that should scare everyone.

minsky refused to have sex with the girl, there's an eye witness corroborating it.

The very least you can do is get your facts straight.

Stallman did his best to convince everyone he was guilty.
