The entire point is of my post is that it's no longer his opinion.

Both your point and my point are true.

Obviously I am glad he has abandoned his opinions.

I do think it is terrible that the politicians, activists, teachers etc. who held such opinions in the past did not suffer severe career consequences even if they subsequently changed their opinions. I think they cannot be trusted in those areas. However, Stallman is not in such an area.
