    "Richard Stallman is a fascinating person and a technology pioneer. But
    I should mention that he is also a serial sexual harasser. I experienced
    this personally--when I was a grad student at MIT, he put his hand on my
    knee under the table repeatedly. I am not long-term traumatized by this experience, but I do remember being disillusioned--I came to meet a hero
    and I got treated like this? Yuck."

    Other than writing some good computer programs, there's NOTHING to
    admire about this repulsive 'rms' yutz.

    At least he was never associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike a
    certain founder of a certain computer software megacorp that a certain
    poster seems quite fond of.

    I wouldn't be surprised if his wife Melinda divorced him
    because she found out what was going on with Bill and
    Epstein.
    Pure speculation on my part but if true it was a smart
    move.

    I think she has already implied as much.
