    For example, I agree that we should reject the term “sexual assault”

    While RMS is a person who loves to argue on semantics; this argument comes from his friend being accused of sexual assault. “Oh my friend was accused of sexual assault… when you think about it what really is sexual assault?” (This is not a direct quote, I’m just making a point.)

    I think it’s sad that someone uploaded a video of him doing something embarrassing just to make fun of him

    This was during a conference and he was being asked a question. The most you can complain about is it went viral (or that he did this in public).

      I know and he was right. There was no evidence of Minsky assaulting anybody. I don’t think they were friends, though.
