I'd say it's more than tangentially related. The blog post is about Richard Stallman, his life, and his contributions; it seems strange to not acknowledge the recent controversy surrounding him.

It's like making a video about the career of Mike Tyson and omit the ear-biting part. Wrong? No. It doesn't matter because everyone knows about that anyway.
