Kids, I speak as one of the few people, possibly the only person, in this discussion who has actually been subject to this. Daniel J. Bernstein is not in the same class of people as the people who call for retroactive abortions of their correspondents or who call people "slimy hypocritical asshole". It is a calumny to put him in that class.
And if I, who actually has been subject to this, say this, all of you, who have not, do not have a leg to stand upon.
- rtpg 9y agoSorry, I might have been overly generalizing here. I'm not aware of djb's behavior in particular, and was working off of the comparison that OP had made. I had cited the abortion example as it's perhaps the most well-known example of Torvald's behavior. I should have made that more clear.
