@robdaemon Not that I would ever advise anyone to use Facebook, but I believe there is a Digital Research group there where some of the old regulars hang out. They might be able to help you.

@robdaemon Only other thing I can think of is to contact the Computer History Museum. I think they got a lot of Gary's papers and archives.

@clacke @atomicpoet @hankg In the case of promoting Linux and FOSS it's especially self-defeating to launch these "anti-woke" crusades. It's not like we should be turning people away!

@atomicpoet The problem is that he doesn’t have any credibility with me, so why would I believe him now?

@hankg @atomicpoet Many thanks for the kind words.

As for BL, I dealt with many men like him in my past. Most of them start out as genuinely interesting and thoughtful people. But they get slowly poisoned by what I'll broadly refer to as White Christian Nationalism. Add to that the lure of a captive audience--which matters when you make your money as an Internet personality--and the transformation is almost inevitable.

BL reminds me of a guy I went to university with. And not in a good way.

@atomicpoet @hankg Oh, certainly one should always investigate allegations of this nature. I was just speaking for myself, and I certainly have no dog in this fight.

@atomicpoet @hankg Well, that doesn't surprise me. I've known many folks who will bully people who belong to marginalized groups yet eagerly seize the mantle of victimhood when it suits them. That's pretty much page 1 of the Right-Wing Playbook.
