[EDIT] Wikipedia suggests it is Eric S. Raymond https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_S._Raymond https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_S._Raymond I still don't know why people hate him.
- daveloyall 10y agoESR seems cool at first. You may think that, at worst, he uses an unfortunate choice of words now and again. As in: "Oh, that thing he said, it must have been an accident that it sounded kinda (sexist|racist| conceited|sociopathic|selfish|ignorant)." Keep reading, and you'll see that it's a theme, a thread that runs through his work. He seems to think he's quite the demagogue.
