> also a mysogynyst (justifies rape and pedophilia) Didn't the article cited debunk that? Citation needed for that claim. He's very rigid and particular about language. He doesn't like the legal connection between age-of-consent and rape. He sees rape as this thing which MUST be forced, and MUST be violent. If it isn't both of those, it's not rape. He wants a different word for it, and a different charge. He can be very crude and inarticulate, but that opinion isn't invalid.

yeah sorry I had retracted the specifics in (brackets) for the reason you stated after not finding proper sources. apologies you were still left with the original version of my comment. I did meet him in person back in the day and we had dinner. I'm a lot younger than him still and was just breaking into programming back then. He treated most "less experienced" people on the table like shit including myself and the evening ended with me calling him out on various things and turning him into a joke where even the people who invited him couldn't help giggling (I used to work behind a bar as a kid and am pretty good at reducing somebody to rubble with humor if needed. so in a way I did to him what he did to others and he absolutely hated it.)

    perhaps you have misread? he was the one bullying his surrounding including myself. I was (compared to him) just an inexperienced child. I pick on him exactly because he picks on those weaker than him[1]. if you can't be a mentor to others (autism or not) you shouldn't be in a leadership position.

      > I pick on him exactly because he picks on those weaker than him That does not make you better. If any, it makes you worse. He may be doing that unintentionally. You bullied him on purpose.
