Frankly, I don't know what to think of it either... I was personally pretty dissappointed in my fellow /.ers posts when the interview was announced. From that standpoint, we gave him a great deal of justification to call us stupid and immature. Everything from people leaving slashdot entirely over it, to people resorting to name-calling. I had hoped that we were better than that.

But the questions/comments that were submitted to him did summarize the majority's view rather well, and he did fail to answer much of anything directly. I had read a bit about him on my friends' site, (http://www.hacking.org,) a while back and was actually looking forward to hearing what he had to say. Sometimes what we read isn't the truth, as he said, and there was a part of me that was open to having some of the rumors dispelled. Alas, he said nothing to convince me that he's anything other than what my fellows had claimed him to be.

I agree, I think the worst of it is that all of this has fed his ego and his notoriety further. It really bothers me that this guy is actually *famous.*

And here I am fueling that fame by spending time writing about him. There is no end to the hypocrisy... even my own.
