@goku12 @drewdevault fwiw I don’t have a problem with his rudeness or arrogance, I have a problem with him telling students that if they don’t go on a date with him he will kill himself
if he said the same stuff in a polite way I’d still think he’s massively problematic. I totally agree that if your problem with Stallman boils down to just tone critique, then the caveats of tone critique being harmful in a lot of cases are very valid, but in Stallmans case that’s not what it’s about at all IMO, not at all
