As stated in the article, its his form of intellectual discourse. [06:32] schestowitz To expect him to answer questions in any other way, is like getting mad at Schwarzenegger for saying Ill be back. You KNOW hes going to say it. [06:32] schestowitz Stallmans response was no different than when he explains the difference between Open Source and Free when someone uses the wrong terminology. [06:32] schestowitz I read nothing that condoned the actions of Epstein, or even the alleged actions of Minsky. The media and social groups in this country are too quick to judge when they hear one little thing that seems to be out of place, and then give no one a chance to explain anything.
