      People in high up positions often “resign” when their position is no longer tenable.

      It’s an opportunity afforded to people at the top so they can save face.

      I don’t see why you’re bringing whataboutism about Gates into this. The discussion isn’t about Gates, nor do I like Gates. Why bring him up other than to muddy the debate and shift focus away from padeo-champion RMS?

      The discussion is about RMS being pro paedophilia, and his cult being in denial about that fact.

          I didn’t say he returned to his position.

          The entire thing led to him resigning. It was his comments on Epstein that got the ball rolling, but people bringing up his public championing of child rape using his work email address, as well as women alleging that he had been creepy with them, all led to him losing his position.

          Look, you can defend him all you want. That’s fine. I’m just on the “child rape is bad” side of the fence.

              No he isn’t of the opinion that paedophilia is bad, because he has publicly said it’s fine/good several times!

              And no, he suddenly “changed his mind” as a last-ditch effort to save his job, and it failed.

              If you genuinely believe he had an epiphany and did a complete 180 that just happened to perfectly align with him coming under fire, then you’re pretty naive.

              This cult behaviour is fucking weird, dude. The guy repeatedly states that having sex with children is fine and yet you’re fine with him. Re-evaluate your position.

                  He didn’t change his opinion over decades. He “changed” his opinion over days. Specifically, days after there started to be pressure for him to step down or be removed.

                  What a convenient time to have a change of heart!

                  Stop defending an advocate of child rape.
