We do not take for granted that every website is 100% truth or fact. And when presented with something that has only emotion and no fact then we are right to dismiss it. This is why we do not link to things like Obama’s tan suit being Marxist and meaning it[0].

I read into it more, I saw only emotive language and some women who called rms creepy 20 years ago, nothing else. And, yes, I find rms creepy (toe skin eating, anyone?). It is not valid reason to persecute. However, I’m totally open to the idea that this man has horrible ideas and opinions about women and paedophilia. But this is not a compelling citation unless you’re swayed by the kind of language the author uses.

For what it’s worth there are good comments on this article here that indicate something rms previously said about the age of consent in the Netherlands being lowered to 12, and he later changed his opinion on that. It’s a troubling opinion that he had, but I, personally can’t get too bent out of shape if someone changes their mind from something problematic when presented with evidence.
