FWIW I voted you down because you made a post that was more or less guaranteed to start a flamewar, and only tangentially related to the OP.

I'd say it's more than tangentially related. The blog post is about Richard Stallman, his life, and his contributions; it seems strange to not acknowledge the recent controversy surrounding him.

Sure, so do it thoughtfully, not just throwing "Epstein", "Rogan" and "thoughtcrime" grenades and running away.

It's the first thing to omit, because in any other discussion about RMS it comes up anyway.

It's like making a video about the career of Mike Tyson and omit the ear-biting part. Wrong? No. It doesn't matter because everyone knows about that anyway.
