Just to be clear, I agree with everything that's being said in this article. I can't understand how some people read Stallman's words and understand the exact opposite of what he is saying. But I find equally incomprehensible how can you read that quote and still need an explanation on how one thing implies the other.
Here's where it all started:
> Me: "No, but he did say that having sex with children is sometimes fine"
> You: "Can you quote/link those instances since the two statements that you quoted don't say that at all."
Here is a statement from Stallman himself summarizing his own words: "Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it."
So he said himself that what he was saying back then was that in some instances there is nothing wrong with sex between an adult and a child.
This is my answer to your original question. He explained it himself.
That is not making it clearer. First, I was interested in how you interpreted the quote you used as you did. This doesn't make it clearer. Secondly, I don't know if the quote you are using now is referencing the firs quote or something else. I suspect that you do not either.
Also it seems that you have some axe to grind against the man. Here is the full quote:
>> Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.
>> Through personal conversations in recent years, I've learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why.
> In those words he was saying that in some cases there is nothing wrong with an adult having sex with a child.
We are not talking about those words, are we?
