Dunno about that but I do know that RMS made a huge contribution to open source and Rossman seems to be doing the same for right to repair.

I’m happy that people are doing good work even if they have shitty opinions or are even shitty humans. I will appreciate what they have done for humanity.



This sounds like Dave Chappelle’s view about Cosby: “he rapes, but he saves”


Nobody is perfect.

If you want to live in a world built by perfect people, you won’t have a house or music or new or movies or companies.

I’m not defending shitty behaviour, I’m not throwing out the baby with the bath water.


Do you really think this is an honest characterization? If Louis Rossman commits a crime you can just send him to prison. The fact that he isn't in prison indicates that you are trying to push this in a specific direction by thinking of the worst possible crime and pretending the situations are remotely similar.


I think it’s very telling that people have not substantiated their claims.

Perhaps there are people/bots who are paid to assassinate his character because of his right to repair work?


You know that falsely accusing somebody of a crime is also a crime right?
