The statement (open letter) is based on lies, yes. Do people who accuse RMS of assault are lying? I don't know that but since there's no evidence/proof, I just can't believe them.
I've seen various people even convicted of assault and then proven to be innocent so I refuse to accept anything unless there's proof. For thousands of years, people believed the earth is flat. Now we know it's a globe. I learnt that even if the whole world says something, unless there's proof, that's worthless. The moment there's proof that RMS is a sexist misogynist, I'll step down from defending him. Till then, as long as it's only feelings, I only can have empathy. I seriously feel sorry that people's feelings are hurt but I can't accept pressure to make someone resign because some people are hurt. For me, using RMS' experience and thoughts to make the movement go forward and bring justice to computer users is far more important.
