Yeah, he's been through so much shit, you read his book and you just hurt for him. He went back years later and redid his book, apologizing for all the insensitive things he had written because he was younger and didn't have the proper perspective. I don't always agree with him on everything, but damn, he's trying and usually pulling it off.
He actually joined Lemmy back before it took off and got collectively driven off by the indigenous Lemmings and swore the platform off. He made like one post and was ridiculed by so many asshats.
