It's a bit sad that this guy mainly came into the spotlight because of some Twitter user making fun of his appearance and not because of his work.

- aw3c2 8y agoFor some humble self-reflection: You just brought the spotlight on his apparently-noteworthy appearance here. This was not discussed by anyone here and at least for me, nothing that would have come to mind.
- analognoise 8y agoI don't think GP is agreeing with it, or that it requires "humble self reflection": the Twitter thing made Reddit's front page (which is seen by many more people than the CBS and HN combined, and is incidentally where I first heard about it as well). You can step off that high horse now.
- gotocake 8y agoLeave out that last sentence and you’re making a cogent, convincing argument; the insult adds nothing and takes something away.
