"... and Stallman writes an e-mail that sounds very much as if he's obliquely defending Epstein"

Complete misinterpretation of what RMS has written about. He defended Minsky, not Epstein.

It doesn't matter. He waded into a giant scandal and published something that sounded like he was defending the whole thing. I can't think of a single institution that this would not get you fired from, usually within hours.

Hell CEOs can be fired for such things... unless they have Elon Musk or Steve Jobs levels of reality distortion fields and cult followings.

Yes, but he sounded like he was defending Epstein.
