r_schestowitz" As an outsider that has been following the rms situation and various posts on mastodon I have come to the conclusion that you are too close to rms to have an objective opinion or see/read the writing that was clearly on his own wall. Was I what he wrote reported wrongly. Yes. Is his history of asshat level opinions and beliefs that people like you and others conveniently ignored, without question. He dug his own grave to be honest."Sep 25 06:28
