    You mean when he had an epiphany and changed his mind 2 days after his job became under fire?

    Gee, I dunno. Maybe because it was a clear last-ditch effort to save his job, rather than because he genuinely went from his decades-held (and publicly-championed) view that sex with children is ok to sex with children is rape, by sheer coincidence, 2 days after people started requesting he step down over Epstein comments?

    It was about as convincing a statement from Stallman as when Zuckerberg says he cares about privacy.

    Do you genuinely believe him when he says he changed his mind? It’s an awfully convenient timing, even you would have to admit.

    And can I also ask - are you only looking favourably at him because you like him? If Andrew Tate, just before his court case, came out and said that his views on women are wrong and he doesn’t believe that stuff anymore, would you believe him? It seems to me that you’re likely sweeping Stallman being pro-childrape under the rug, because he happens to have cool ideals when it comes to software.
