you've put together quite a strawman there. I see you don't like it. I don't like it either. want me to help dismantle it?
you may have missed my reproaching the alleged behaviors attributed to Moglen. they're not ok, *if* they happened, but we don't know that they did. at least I don't. do you? all I have to go by so far is an allegation by someone who has cried wolf before. my conscience won't allow me to condemn someone over such weak... heck, I don't even think it qualifies as evidence.
a common mistake I perceive is higher pressure for condemnation and more willingness to overlook lack of evidence the more odious the accusation is. that's emotionally understandable, and it is sensible to take precautions, but a more odious accusation does not make the accused party any more guilty than a minor one before evidence corroborates it. like, mjg59 is allegedly accused of criminal activity, but until I see supporting evidence for the allegations, those accusations tell me nothing about him; they might tell me something about him, about the accuser, or about neither, depending on the evidence, after it is presented, but not before. likewise, I've witnessed other parties mentioned in mjg59's blog post pushing intolerant accusations that turned out to be false, and otherwise behaving in reproachable ways, but I shall not conclude from that alone that the present allegations are also false. these would be unjust and fallacious conclusions
