How are you connecting to the IBM Network from in the office when it is a clear violation of the IBM Conduct guidelines to do what you are doing (posting your comments on a non-IBM site) and on IBM company time too ? Did you get permission from your devout, church-going first line to do this ? | Jun 02 06:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Or do you just conveniently ignore the rules when they don't suit you ? Maybe you can tell us what location and site you are working from ? Sounds like you should be subject to some disciplinary action up-to and including termination. Shouldn't be too hard to have IBM Networking catch you for fraud and more. | Jun 02 06:02 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The post is highlighting the discord between the MIT/associated media hit pieces on Stallman (free software advocate) for having problematic views, while compelling evidence of Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) Epstein-class behavior was pretty much ignored. | Jun 02 22:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I looked into this a year or so ago. My take away was that at some point someone published a very long piece which quotes stallman and step by step concludes "this is bad". And then people started quoting the piece conclusion. However I remember reading the originals from stallman and not finding anything wrong with them. (If someone wants to disagree please cite stallman, not someone else's conclusion about stallman.) | Jun 02 22:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | They all appear to be links back to the blog itself or said support site. Speaking for myself I don't need a messiah figure to support elements of FOSS, and I don't need Stallman to be a decent or functional human being to have made good points in the past. | Jun 02 22:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Speaking for myself the first HUGE red flag out of Stallman was his famous comment about pedophilia circa 2006, which this "Stallmansupport site" actually addresses. | Jun 02 22:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | https://stallmansupport.org/debunking-false-accusations-agai... | Jun 02 22:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The defense seems to be summed up in this line: "Whatever the reasoning that led Stallman to write those statements, the fact is that later he changed his mind." | Jun 02 22:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It seemed pretty clear what he meant, and walking it back 13 years later under pressure doesn't make me think that he didn't mean it the first time. | Jun 02 22:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I'm not saying that he isn't, I'm saying that when we have STRONG evidence of his sexual assault of adults, and dozens of other felonies, we don't need to focus on the one for which no proof exists despite extensive attempts at finding some. It's not a denial of what he might have done, it's essentially a policy statement. | Jun 02 22:06 |
