TL;DR: Yep, citing ESR does not help GP's case!
Thank you. I had wrote something about that in a comment I was working on minute ago, but it didn't make the final cut. I'll attempt to reproduce it:
ESR is so broken that he thinks being peerless is a good thing. The only time in my life when any of his writing made any sense to me was when I was myself so desperately alone that I didn't even realize what I was missing. I have considered reaching out to him, offering him a lifeline... But after reading his blog, I am sorry to predict that he would interpret any interaction with another human that results in his experience of an actual feeling to be an assault on his person, and that he is likely to respond in kind.
- daveloyall 10y agoThis seems out of place now that the comment thread has evolved. Anyway, it's clear that ESR is a polarizing issue. Citations pointing to the jargon file might be be less distracting if they are described as such, rather than as "ESR said..."
