But if the guy who created the FOSS movement says something gross, then they and everything they stand for should apparently be shunned.

They might mean that, but they didn’t say it. I don’t think they did mean it. I think they just don’t want people to forget the “problematic” aspects of someone before we go all worship mode on him.

It’s like how my partner will interject–he’s canadian!–if I mention some actor. Like she just doesn’t want me to forget that context, but other than that, I can carry on.

Maybe they did mean that, though and I’m missing some context from somewhere else in this thread.
