It's probably there just because it was one of the many files preinstalled on one of Epstein's computers that the FBI nabbed. Still funny.

I am not the biggest Richard Stallman fan, and this was also my first thought. But in the interest of truth, it is very unfair to portray him this way.

What Stallman argued for was correctness. He is guilty of pedantry, not pedophilia. Did he do it badly. Yes. Was it a socially risky position to take? For sure. Is he a child predator? Not based on any evidence I have seen.

There are actual child predators out there. Let’s focus on them.
