Sarah Mei alternates between aggressive, mocking, and combative. She has no sense of humor. Her worldview is unbelievably bleak and threatening. And she views herself as special -- someone "woke". It's terrible to behold.

The truth is that people make mistakes. People are entitled to their own opinions, however much you may disagree with them. The world exists outside one's self, and any one person just a small, small part of it. The world is not to blame if I feel hurt or threatened, and life is not fair. But within this world we have complete freedom. Do not try to take that away.


Sarah Mei is just defending her own freedom to want to exist in a professional capacity without harrassment.

Who's taking freedom away? RMS is still a free man. He's just lost his privileged positions.


Yikes, what an awful group of self-righteous people. Bullying and slander is perfectly fine when the virtuous do it I see.


Funny how much you can tell about these people from their twitter profile. These people are so privilidged that they have so much time to spend on the most trivial of subjects.




That thread definitely has a lot of interesting information. Some things seem kind of off though... but in general it seems mostly fair.


There is nothing fair about it.


On the contrary. She's being quite fair.


Keep in mind that the premise of the thread (the picture of the name tag on the door) is actually a setup. Someone graffitis on Stallman’s door, and that mob justice character assassination spews forth from it.


If you think that this situation has much to do with that door tag, you really are reaching.


Not in the least.
