He’s always right.
Does that include his skepticism about voluntary ped- ok ok ok I’ll stop.
I think I’m out of the loop of whatever your referring to.
He opined something on the Epstein case which turned out to be too controversial and politically incorrect for the cancel culture lobby. So, they cancelled him entirely on just about everything instead of cancelling his opinion. He lost his job and fellowship at MIT as his staffers were also concerned about the lobby’s opinion, and all people have to say about the founder of GNU and free software movement today is about that one single opinion. That’s the pea-sized brain today’s generation has been reduced to.
Big surprise, when you put yourself in a position where people care about what you say, they care about what you say. Maybe you don’t like that people are held accountable for their words, but by the time RMS got cancelled, it shoudn’t have been a surprise to anybody that this would happen, let alone him. Stallman, of all people, should have assumed that anything he says in emails to the team will get leaked, and kept work emails focused on work. Why would he possibly comment about pedophilia in that context?

THAT is the reason he had to be removed. Because having someone like him at the helm taints the movement. I’m grateful for RMS’s contribution, but putting someone in charge of the FSF who isn’t so… problematic and letting the movement continue is the right move.
