My history with ****e *****s goes way back... we must have had more than a decade of pro-vs-contra-OOP flame wars on various Web fora, starting over twenty years ago; but in the last ten or so I haven't heard (directly) from him.

In the mean time, I have softened my stance and can admit that traditional inheritance-based OOP may not be ultimate panacea, but I doubt he has softened his anti-OOP stance at all. :-)

He is / was present on at least Slashdot and, I noticed, the original (now archived, i.e. read-only) C2 Wiki, and probably a few others I'm forgetting right now, under the names "Tablizer", "TopMind" (or sometimes, IIRC, just "Top".)
