Uh? This is a correction by someone who publicly reproduced an email accusing Stallman of being a sexual harasser, and generally a smelly and disgusting person, only to realize two weeks later that the accuser had in fact confused him with someone else. The fact of having already published something completely wrong and libelous doesn't prevent him from naming that other person, either. I guess it's normal nowadays.


True enough. I probably should have prefaced my comment with "off-topic". I just felt like commenting on the general situation Stallman is currently in.

It's not just Stallman, though, it seems to me that a lot more of these types of situations have been coming to light recently. I'm not really sure what the catalyst for that would be perhaps it's the #metoo tag on twitter or perhaps that's the result of a changing socio-political climate.
