I know the former is true, not sure about the latter, but
he also used the bugs database in a fashion I can only
describe as caustic.  (That drove at least one person away

John is ably qualified technically.  If you agree with him

were in for a long fight.

Obvious disclaimer: I was in the latter category.

People will have to come to their own conclusions.
