John is a pompous jerk who likes to misinterpret half-truths, scream persecution, and then block people when called out rather than admit fault. And if ever called on it he silently deletes his tweets instead of acknowledging his actions or faults.
source: he blocked me years ago for precisely this. also, coincidentally, when he was screaming persecution once prior.

Further examples of another tweet thread of his that he silently deleted after getting called out:

In short, pretty much anything that comes out of John's mouth is trolling, and should be given about as much credence.
- delhanty 7y agoOK, fair enough. I notice that you were working for Wordpress.com in May 2018 and had a run in with John O'Nolan on HN then. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17086661 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17086661 Just disclosing that for you to put your comment in context.
- georgestephanis 7y agoOh hey I guess I did. Totally forgot about that. You'll note: * He says something factually wrong (`It does not run the open source codebase at all.`) * I point out that he's factually wrong, and back it up. * He dodges and insists he's right regardless. Yup. True to form.
