It is not an isolated incident. There are multiple documented cases of him behaving like a creep and spouting "controversial" statements.

1. What's your evidence? Where are these "documented" cases? 2. What incident are you referring to? His comments that led to his removal were about language and preciseness. Did you read his comment? Are you sure you know what the background/context is here?

Name them please? The "creep" incidents, that is.

Can you please read the thread yourself and point out to specific instances you are referring to? Because there is a lot of false information in this thread, like so:

> Last week, on a private MIT mailing list, Richard Stallman argued that a sex trafficking survivor may have "willingly" presented herself, and thus Minksey hadn't really committed sexual assault. That being coerced by Epstein made it not rape.

Which is flat out wrong, and something that the article here explicitly demonstrates why it's false. Did you read the "Defense of Richard Stallman" article presented here in this thread?

I read that thread before. The only "creep" I got out of it was that he was an awkward wannabe-dater.

And that thread contains misleading or outright false information, so I am honestly not sure what of it is truth-worthy. Do you have secondary sources, or is this internet rumor all?
