So much talk of "witch hunts" and "mob justice", when the most plausible scenario is that he resigned entirely willingly.

whoosh

Stallman is someone who spent years harassing women in his circles. You make it sound like he was removed over a single mistake, when his antics spanned decades, and defending Epstein was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

People like Stallman drive talented women out of free software (and tech in general), and that's the real tragedy here--not the loss of some bitter old dude whose contributions in the past few years had become increasingly irrelevant anyway.
