OK I see the problem here. When I see the word “minor” I think of a teenager. Usually when someone says minor they mean not-quite-an-adult, not necessarily all people under 18. I don’t think your interpretation of DeVault is fair here to be honest.

It’s not an interpretation. DeVault used a different word in place of the word that Stallman used, with a different and broader meaning. Regardless of your understanding of how DeVault’s word is used, the defined meaning of the word implies that Stallman supports pedophilia. DeVault’s use of the word is an outrageous slander which has the potential to be disasterous for Stallman. Indeed that seems to have been DeVault’s intent.
I don’t think DeVault’s interpretation of Stallman is fair. Indeed, I think it was malicious and deceitful. I think your interpretation of DeVault is naive and fails to take into account just how serious the consequences of accusing someone of supporting pedophilia can get.
