Stallman was driven out because of decades of abusive behavior and opinions. The most recent incident was just the final straw. Ignoring that historical context is rather disingenuous.
Anyway, he subsquently said that he changed his mind on that point, after discussions with other people about it. You ought to include that if you're going to try to represent the man's history.
We're discussing his resignation and the pressure that was surely brought to bear on him to do so. Which almost certainly is related to his history of pro-pedophilia comments, not just the most recent ones.
But at the same time the other side is arguing that the tactics used to this end involve misquoting and lying about what he said.

Many (not all, but many) of RMS "defenders" here would completely agree if not for this backhanded tactics, as some are only asking for proper representation of facts.
The fact that a lot of "takedown" pieces continue to lie means that they force together two groups of people that do not necessarily agree.
