much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I think this is an extremely generous take. For anyone not in the loop, he gets called POS for famously weighing in on discussions of pedophelia by saying children 13+ aren't children so it's not pedophelia.
I think this goes beyond being bad at knowing when to correct semantics
Nah, I truly believe he is that awkward and tone-deaf.
I do too, but I think being that tone deaf after being called out says a lot, and I think it's pretty good reason to not make blanket endorsements for his statements/beliefs
he wasn't tone dead in that case you mentioned. he has since changed his thoughts about it.
Yet he still qualifies that statement:
link to his current site. scroll down to children
Sure. The only "blanket" statements I'm willing to give are limited to his work on Free Software. His statements on pretty much everything else should probably just be ignored.
I think that even that is more bad phrasing on his end than him being a pedophile. Beyond weird opinions, there is no evidence at all that he is a pedo
But there is evidence that he defends it, and that he refused to back down after being called out. He is not a good person to look up to, and willfully makes harmful public statements, and willfully stabds by them. In other words, kinda a POS
Not that it excuses his behavior but isn't he on the autism spectrum? People on the spectrum sometimes have no filter and are very literal. Like saying a 13 year old is more adolescent than child.

Yet he still qualifies that statement:
