Are you... are you serious? Do you expect this to convince sane people? The disingenuousness on display in these threads is amazing.
"Maybe this is RMS's last-ditch effort to return to his glory days, when he could put abortion references in the documentation, and talk about virginity in his conference talks, and nobody would push back."
"I’m a CIS male and I’ve avoided GPL and every event he’s associated with in boston for over ten years because I didn’t like his macho-aggressive attitudes towards everything."
"If a women reports a FOSS hero, does anyone hear it?"
Oh, and for some reason pretty much everyone in these threads is either mistaken or deliberately lying about his recent comments about Minsky.
These people are trying to ruin someone's life and they're treating the entire thing like a joke.
I don't expect this to convince insane people. By which i mean you're insane. You take people using inclusive language as automatically dismissible. Clear sign I'm wasting my time.

These threads are mostly dated 2018. The one tweet that isn't is referencing a talk from August. I don't know what you're talking about.
So, basically, exactly what the article says, a big nothing. The plants thing is stupid, rms doesn't hate plants. Sarah Mei appears to have no special reason to hate rms, shes a well known person who is extremely negative about anyone in software who's said anything offensive, including Linus, etc.
Well...
An anonymous source, from the internet, which itself had heard of this only through another party.
Dismissing unreliable sources like that is a safe default, no?
