There's a subtle, complex space between publicly talking shit for petty reasons about somebody who has just made mistakes, and sharing stories about somebody who is truly immoral for the purpose of helping others avoid suffering the same consequences.

I don't claim that this is near either extreme of the spectrum, but it seems closer to the latter end, in my brief interpretation.

Or, just, if you're going to lend Stallman a guest bedroom, be aware of what might happen. Everything doesn't have to have a soaring, far-reaching philosophical purpose.
