In Defense of Richard Stallman

No. Wrong. You, and many others, seem incapable of parsing basic sentences.

RMS claimed it was plausible that she presented herself to Minsky as willing, due to coercion by Epstein.

There's a big difference.

And what could be more normal than an 17 year old girl on a billionaire's private island willingly offering free sex to a man in his 70s? How could Minsky possibly have suspected that anything was amiss?

I guess it's possible Minsky confused her for a 18 year old prostitute. Whether that counts as "willing" depends on your views on prostitution, of course.

Have you considered the possibility that your definition of normalcy is not equivalent to what's technically possible, or may be even the truth?

I have read over your comment a few times and still have no idea what you mean. But yeah, I'm confident in my judgment of what is and isn't normal in this instance.

Reportedly, Minsky did suspect that something was amiss and refused the offer.

I know, but RMS was saying it would have been ok if he hadn't, hypothetically.
