Forgiveness requires accountability and commitment to change, neither of which have been forthcoming.

Have you seen his blog? He's admitted failings and mistakes in the past.

[gimboland]

I have not, and would be interested to see a link to that (the posting(s) in question, not the whole blog), particularly if it addresses the many accusations of sexual harassment, as my understanding was that this had not happened. Prompted by your comment, I had a look on his site, but nothing seemed to be fit the bill, either in the "Political Articles" section or the "Non-political Articles" section — but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? Please, enlighten me.

Forgiveness technically does NOT require those things. That’s the point. It’s fore-give-ness.

But if you forget for a moment your semantic argument, you find that is actually very hard to forgive somebody that doesn't admit to have done something wrong.

Stallman lost his job for years, and apologised - what are you talking about?

And this is over - and I can't BELIEVE this still has to be said even here - his words being twisted COMPLETELY out of context.

Smh at this community for tolerating comments like yours.

Oh, has he apologised for the years-long pattern of sexual harassment as testified to by multiple women? I must have missed that, sorry.
