This is the article that started the whole "RMS defended epstein" lie. It contained a lot of other lies that the author has refused to fix. Considering all that I would say that it is not trustworthy. Even if it is true there is a good chance that it was taken out of context or was a joke. The first one sounds like one, as for the second, I can't defend it but I think that someone who says that needs support rather than harassment, or could be said in jest, for example "oh woe me, what shall I do, I have no real reason to continue living if I can't be with you!", considering how the article tried as hard as possible to misrepresent what he said it sounds possible.

Regardless, even if the suicide case happened as they said, I am not aware of him repeating it. Someone probably told him that this is wrong and he never did it again, isn't this exactly what we want? For people not to repeat their mistakes and stop what makes other uncomfortable? You are not born innately knowing that this is a bad thing.
