This is an extremely provocative title which I hope the mods will swiftly change and/or censure.

I often find myself thinking "Stallman was right!" when it comes to FOSS/privacy but there is a zero-percent chance I will ever defend Epstein's organized, systematic, and continuous abuse of children.

And shame on everyone who refers to him as a "disgraced financier" and his victims as "underage women."

This isn't a pearl-clutching instance of "think of the children" so much as a totally human response based on the litany of evidence that child abuse _ruins lives_ (Google 'Borderline Personality Disorder')

Stallman did not defend any of Epstein's acts. He referred to Epstein as a "serial rapist", just not a pedophile.

RMS is a very literal thinker and he lacks tact for sure, but a defender of sexual predators he is not.
