What a disgusting, morally reprehensible take by Mr. Bushnell. He's arguing that Stallman should have known to shut up an just thrown Minsky under the bus, sort of like Bushnell does with Stallman in that article.
> RMS treated the problem as being “let’s make sure we don’t criticize Minsky unfairly”, when the problem was actually, “how can we come to terms with a history of MIT’s institutional neglect of its responsibilities toward women and its apparent complicity with Epstein’s crimes”.
> Minsky is also dead, and there’s plenty of time to discuss at leisure whatever questions there may be about his culpability.

Wikipedia states:
"Bushnell [..] is employed by Google LLC. He is a member of Saint Mark's Episcopal Church."
With all due respect to his employment and religious beliefs, that is not the sort of person to provide a better understanding of Stallman, in general or psychologically.
