I don't care if RMS is gross or whatever, what I care about is RMS defending pedophiles or being abusive or harassing people. I've crossed paths with him a good bunch of times with them in OpenSource events, even been on the organization of some of those events. Friends and acquaintances have also met him lots of times. I even know people that have hosted him at their homes (and will never do it again).

I know, autism-something-something, but I'm autistic (too?) and I have friends in very different places of the spectrum, and they know that, if anybody tells them that something they've done feels bad or they don't like it, they won't do it again.

That's really what hurt his career or whatever.
