hi dig,
the trick is not to allow it to bother you or change your behaviour. then it loses any power it has.
i recall his exit post here and thinking what a silly thing to write.
he's mostly a really constructive force. so it's a shame he can't get the bile under control. splitting the world between good true believers and wicked sceptics is primitive thinking. you'd expect it only from very limited people. for a guy as smart as awk the lack of self-reflection is remarkable. it only makes him look nasty and he is a decent enough chap.
however, i think it is derived from a sort of teutonic frustration more than simple animus. hope he can get himself a sense of perspective.
