Amazing how the hostility is perpetuating all through HN here as well. I have seen (and sadly self experienced!) this kind of story way too often. And let me tell you this: This guy is now burned by this bad interaction and is successfully shooed away. And some folks wonder why "nerds" and "geeks" are seen as socially inapt... I don't even think that Mr. Ellerman had any malicious intents. But it just shows again, that the so called people skills are nothing to be neglected when choosing leading figures. To paraphrase George Carlin: "It's a big club. And you're not in it!"
