Actually I did meet him at a trade show not long ago. I did find him kind of annoying. It was kind of dissappointing really, since I'm a big fan of Slashdot and a long-time user, I kind of pictured him as a cool guy.

Of course I didn't really get to know him well, maybe deep down he's thoughtful and interesting, but on the surface he was one of those guys who thinks putting everything down is funny and doesn't realize that it's just annoying. (I'm not overly sensitive to put-downs by the way, in the hands of a master they can be very funny, but Rob isn't a master.)

A lot of it might be just immaturity. Maybe in a few years he'll grow into a crazy, but interesting person like Stallman. (Who can also be annoying as hell, but once you get him to stop evangelizing actually has some interesting viewpoints.)

Impressions

[bwoodring]

Has anyone else gotten the impression that if they met Taco in person, they'd despise him. I'm not trying to be a troll here, I'm serious.

I really get the impression that he is a spoiled, whiney man-child. He reminds me of the stereo-typical movie director or prima-donna actor, whining and screaming at his assistants.

I mean, maybe I'm the only one, and I admit that I've never and probably will never meet him. But I've managed to stitch together an opinion of hime from his half-wit article comments and stories I've read about him.

If I'm wrong, and you've met him and he's a great guy, feel free to correct me.

Yes..maybe we should look to Rob as a reflection of slashdot "culture" *shudder* ... childish and sloppy (insults, personal opinions, and myriad spelling/grammar mistakes in his article descriptions), fancies himself king of the world without really much claim to it (the slashdot code - I honestly don't get how poorly it could be put together, causing so many glitches and crashes on a nonstop basis.. writing websites isn't rocket science people!), and spends his days on the soapbox yelling at anyone who will listen (c'mon, even if you're not a hardcore linus evangelist, you know you've pontificated about _something_ computer-related to friends/family at least once) ...

*sighs*
