FWIW, I was always impressed how you looked out for Terry on HN.

It's a pity we never could be inclusive enough to take someone in who clearly needed a bit of support. Terry definitely was a troubled person, there is zero doubt about that but if you looked past the sillyness (which I understand is hard in an environment that puts great value on political correctness) he was a really nice guy with some surprising quirks and a good sense of humor. On off days he was not so nice. Nobody's perfect.

Taking a shot at people with whom you disagree undermines your message. What might have been thoughtful is now a diatribe based on a stereotype.
