You're not clearing things up; you are contributing to the misinformation. Your unsubstantiated claim that "Stallman defended Minsky" really doesn't help, unless, perhaps, it helps train people to ignore what they read on the Internet about such matters.

Here's what a proper newspaper wrote on the subject:

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/sep/17/mit-scient...




It's literally in the first lines of the article.

> "In short: Stallman made some technically-correct-but-utterly-tactless comments on a private mailing list, mostly in defense of his late friend and colleague Marvin Minsky."
