      From what? I’m not sure what in the report you think needs apologising for. Did you actually read the report? Is there a sentence you can quote and say “he needs to apologise for this”?

        I believe you’re arguing in bad faith because the report makes it obvious what objectionable statements were made. Bye!

          I disagree. The report claims there are disagreeable statements but when you actually look at the quotes of what Stallman said, they don’t match the claims or conclusions of the report.

          This is why I’m asking if you can actually quote something Stallman said.

          I don’t think you’ve actually read the report.

            I skimmed the first handful of alleged harmful statements on two topics before deciding I wouldn’t benefit from reading the whole thing.
