"pg just speaks exceptionally warmly of rtm, so I considered it a possibility"
Speaking "warmly" of someone's technical skills/intelligence is an indicator of a sexual interest? I don't get it (seriously).
I just did a site search of paulgraham.com for all mentions of rtm, and the "warmest" mention I found was at http://www.paulgraham.com/heroes.html http://www.paulgraham.com/heroes.html, which does not seem to me (a heterosexual male if that is of any interest) to indicate anything remotely sexual. Positive? Sure. Exceptionally so? I guess I just don't see it.
Maybe you were referring to some verbal communication you witnessed?
- yan 18y agoI don't know why you took it so personally. Not to mention that pg dedicated a book to him and always speaks extremely highly of him, it is definitely possible. There's nothing wrong with homsexuality and I intended that post as a joke, so relax.

" oh I didn't "take it personally". :-) I am just trying to follow the thought process (which you have explained above ("intended as a joke") . I was wondering whether this tapped into something culturally specific. No insult of any kind intended.
