He literally says it’s bad that child rape is illegal, then goes on about how if you’re against it you’re a bigot. In what world is that not him saying it’s good?

Because they’re different things? Again this is why I said the analogy. Saying prohibition of alcohol is bad is different from saying alcohol is good. That’s not equating alcohol and pedos, its an analogy on how saying something is good is different from saying it shouldn’t be illegal.

Saying you believe his is autistic is a disgusting defence. Being autistic doesn’t excuse believing it’s a good thing to have sex with children.

Its an explanation of why I think he might have had an opinion I think is disgusting. The defense is that he admitted he was wrong and apologized. Having a wrong belief isn’t a crime, he didn’t rape any kids, so he doesn’t have anything to be “punished” for. And being wrong in the past about ethics is completely different from beliefs on free software- and you know that. You’re just using it as an ad hominem.

Autistic people don’t believe that.

What? There are plenty of autistic people that have a wide variety of beliefs

Yes you did equate them.

Having a glass of wine and pinning down your toddler and fucking him are NOT the same. Jesus Christ.

No I didn’t, stop lying about me. Analogy is not equating, I have no clue why this has to be explained.

And Stallman doesn’t think the same. He thinks it’s good.

He did not say its good, and he does now think the same as he said.

And yeah. You think it’s as bad as sipping a pint of ale…

I am tempted to think you’re trolling seeing as you’re ignoring what I actually wrote and instead just going for cheap attacks. Please stop engaging in bad faith.
