That's my whole issue here. The author's post makes it sound like her problem is with his lack of tact. She complains about his "choice of words," about how it wasn't "appropriate" to send an email to undergrads, how "shocked" she is.

If the problem is that his viewpoint is morally reprehensible, why not just say that, and let's hear some arguments in that direction?

I had no problem parsing that subtext from the article. I don't know why you didn't, maybe you just skimmed it?

I know she thinks that, but it's not what her post is about. She quotes Stallman, assumes the reader will agree that what he said was problematic, then spends the rest of the article discussing how we shouldn't tolerate problematic people.
