During the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit, Richard M. Stallman of the Free Software Foundation (and the Superfluous Introduction Award goes to...) gave a keynote speech. Said keynote speech raised a few eyebrows in the Free software community because of a number of questionable remarks regarding women in technology. David "Lefty" Schlesinger, member of the GNOME Advisory Board and active in the mobile open source community, took issue with RMS' remarks and decided to call him out on it. The response he got was... Less than satisfying.

Thom, it definitely is not.
Stallman explains twice what he meant with his jokes.
Do you point this out in your summery? No, you don't.
Stallman assures everyone that his remarks were in no was intended as derogatory jokes.

So it's not just that you might be an asshole, something we can seem to agree on, but that you are an incredible failure when it comes to being someone who even remotely resembles a journalist.
