He was well known as an open source evangelist and as a helpful guy.

But he was also known as "sexual predator" who harassed young, underaged girls, see https://twitter.com/twena/status/1495537875651371012

I don't know if it is appropriate to make a dedication to someone like this.

The source is some random person on Twitter saying he is? Really?

[ruhrharry]

There are more, see comment of sneak. A lot of people knew, that he was a "problematic" guy. He was kicked out of a hackerspace in Berlin after he harassed a young girl. The fact that she is still affected by this incident after 10 years shows that this wasn't a minor issue.

Yeah, I saw sneak’s comment afterwards. Despite that being only 2 more people, that was still a far more believable source than this random link.

Do you knew him?

How is it possible that you catalog a person as a "sexual predator" without any proof?

I didn't catalig anyone. Do you know that the quote sign (") stands for quotes?

Sure, the quotes, how could I have been so oblivious... Then, what do you mean with "someone like this"? Why would it be inappropriate to make a dedication?

"I was just quoting someone else" is the classic cause for how misinformation/disinformation spreads on the internet.

I'm not saying you're wrong about him, I have no idea. But you're clearly amplifying and spreading the accusation. You have some responsibility to find out if it's true before doing so. Now that said, I don't want to let everyone else on here off the hook by blaming you. They also have a responsibility to take your statement with a grain of salt too. But we can only control our own behavior.

I'm not taking a position on whether we have free will or not. In fact I'm somewhat convinced that we don't ;-)
