Without expressing myself about one side or another, or even not
expressing myself about RMS case (ie: if he's an autistic person or not)
autism is a mental disease. Putting someone with a mental disease in
charge is not exactly a good idea.

Are you trying to make a case that we should be indulgent with RMS
because he's autistic? If that is your intention, you're achieving the
exact opposite thing with your message...
