Here's an analogy there is no way you can lie about(though you'll probably find a way): Saying someone is bigoted if they make fun of arachnophobia is not the same thing as saying arachnophobia is good. And I'm not equating arachnophobia to pedos. Opposing opposition to X is not the same thing as supporting X, its possible to be neutral on X. I'm not neutral on pedos, I think pedos are bad and gross. I think it is wrong to be neutral on pedos, but it is factually inaccurate to say that being "neutral on X" == "X is a good thing".
Thank you!!!! This makes me so happy genuinely!!! You responded to what I actually said!! So you did get it! So why do you keep lying about it?
Anyways, my excitement aside, you're fine to think that. But I do disagree that that's the analogy of what you're saying Stallman said, instead it would be closer to "I think it’s unfortunate alcohol is banned. If you are against letting people consuming alcohol then you are a bigot.”
Which is not necessarily pro-alchohol. Another example, imagine a government that banned a religion, say Buddhism, you could say "I think it’s unfortunate Buddhism is banned. If you are against letting people practice Buddhism then you are a bigot.”- that statement is not necessarily pro-Buddhist, its just anti-prohibition of Buddhism.
Awww my excitement is gone
It literally is an explanation. You're free to think the explanation is wrong and bad, but its still an explanation.
I didn't say it was because of autism. I said its because he failed to empathize with victims, yk a symptom of "autism".
He's still fired from MIT so why doesn't he backtrack if he still believes it?
Never said it does, stop lying about me.
My pain is immeasurable. Please quote where I said those exact words.
Why'd he stop saying it then?
Genuinely why are you still responding if you honestly believe that's what I said? Just to insult me?
I don't hide behind a pseudonym to be toxic to people on the internet.
Why do you keep lying about this? He repeatedly defended raping children.
He thinks raping children should be legal.
He thinks anybody against raping children is bigoted.
He thinks raping children is good.
Stop equating drinking alcohol to raping a child. They aren't comparable.
I'm being toxic? Mate you're being an apologist for genocide and child rape. I'm not the toxic one here.
I'm not, you are the one lying about what I said.
Yep, and that was very bad, and I never denied that. I denied that he said it was good.
Thought*
Thought*
He never said that
I didn't.
You're intentionally lying about what I said as an excuse to insult me rather than actually respond to what I said.
No I'm not
No, he thinks raping children is a good thing.
Saying "thought" implies he no longer does.
Yes you are.
Again, he never said that.
He claims he no longer does, can you read his mind?
Quote what exactly I said that was either of those things.
He did say that.
Do you believe he suddenly changed his mind on an opinion he held and shouted to the world, 2 days after it became apparent he might lose his job over it?
If someone committed fraud, then went to court and said "your honour, I actually agree with you. Fraud is wrong. I came to that conclusion this morning." would you believe them?
It's what all of your comments have been about. Don't play dumb.
Why didn't he reverse then? He's never seemed shy about sharing his opinions before.
An opinion however gross isn't a crime.
I never said it, that's why you can't quote it
He did reverse, that's my point.
Never said it was. Now can you answer the question. Would you believe this person was genuine?
You've said it constantly. Child rape isn't ok.
