It's unfortunately kind of well know that he's a creepy dude. I can't cite specific examples but I have heard pretty credible reasons to believe this in the past.

He does good work in the FOSS community and has been correct about basically everything he predicted regarding the future of proprietary software.

But somewhat ironically, it seems like every facet of his life is filled with kinda creepy anti-social behaviour.
