Your email is confusing.

1) Yes, a doctor has nothing to say about malloc/alloca, it is not his 
domain of expertise.

2) Imagine, in an email thread/discussion about malloc/alloca some 
doctor says some stupid remark. Should he be fired from his job, and 
expelled from the clinic he founded?

I do think that destroying the entire life work of a person because 
he/she said something wrong in an email discussion thread is so utterly 
beyond reasonable that I am suspecting that Mr Stallman was ousted for 
other, undisclosed reasons.
