Yeah, that too seems likely. I'm not going to weigh in much on that because I wasn't there and don't have an in-depth understand over everything that happened, but it does seem like there might've been a better way to handle that.

That said, the parent comment made it sound like it was unreasonable to take RMS's comments as meaning he was pro-pedophilia. And while I think I understand what he was trying to say, I can completely understand how reasonable people could interpret his words in a very bad way. That's the part I was really replying to, not how his dismissal was handled.
