Stallman was cancelled as an sensitivity challenged old white guy.

Sensitivity challenged? That's not the Stallman I read about over the years!

BTW, I still use his EMACS editor. Never took to vi. EMACS just always made sense to me as a particularly useful text editor.

Early 1980s, I first used Emacs. I asked out loud "What's this 'moving moby region'"? An MIT guy said "Moby, as in whale. A big whale...". "Oh." was my response.

Must have been a PDP 11/70 running a flavor of Unix.
