But Stallman replied to an email advertising a gathering to protest MIT's handling of the Epstein scandal.

I have no idea if that sort of political email is common in the mailing list, but if it is appropriate to share/advocate the protest, surely it should also appropriate to discuss the topic?

The original poster on the thread even raises a question of the ethics of having the discussion on csail-related before Stallman even gets involved.

I think people are missing the context of the level of shitshow that’s going on at MIT CSAIL right now with Epstein, Ito, Minsky, and now Stallman.

When the original story blew up over Media Lab and the Administration lied that they didn’t know anything about donations to Epstein, I can only imagine the chaos.
