    I don’t know Drew, I don’t really give a shit about him at all. He may well be a terrible human being, worthy of all the scorn cast at him. I have no idea.

    However, having all of this scorn thrown at him by what appears to be Kiwifarms (very well known for being a cesspool) after penning an article about what a sack of shit RMS is (the exact kind of scum Kiwi would deify) sure does cast a lot of doubt onto all the accusations made against him.

      Kiwifarms is full of terrible people. The site still lists factual claims of his pedophilia.

        Are they factual? Maybe. It’s possible.

        But, do I trust a group of people who make it their whole life to ruin other’s to be honest and objective? Fuck no.

          You’re entitled to put your head in the sand.

          If anyone else is actually curious, spend a few minutes reading Drew’s response. Lots of words apologizing over a minor detail. Zero response to the facts of his pedophilia. Just read his words. Classic shitbag strategy.

          He wrote that response so that people like you can defend his pedophilia in exactly the way you’re doing now.

            Or he opted not to validate asinine accusations made by bad faith actors. Neither of us knows.

            We do know that kiwifarms is full of scum and filth that would likely make asinine accusations for the lawls.

            Something something head in the sand.

              Read it, instead of wasting time defending a pedophile.

              You’re literally doing the same thing MAGAts do.

              Trump is opting not to validate accusations made by bad faith actors. Neither of us knows.

              We do know that the liberal media is full of scum and filth that would likely make asinine accusations for the lawls

              ☝️You, literally right now

                I don’t know that he’s a pedophile. I know that people I don’t trust in any way, shape, or form say that he is. That’s not enough for me to definitely call him anything. I’m defending not taking at face value the word of known trolls.

                Honestly dude, “these people we can’t trust said something and we need to believe them without reservation because it reinforces my core belief and if you don’t agree you’re literally this enemy” is pretty fucking GOP.
