Anyone paying any attention to current events?  Quite many business and
governments have gone out of their way to protect and hide the actions
of abusers. In most causes because they were money makers. I think that
may contradict the article entirely.

Steve Jobbs was a toxic coworker. Most titans in tech would fall more
into toxic category. Ever hear of Balmer raging or Gates? Ellison?
Google any of their names or others with a hole and see what you get....

Most every action since has hurt Gentoo big time. I left from 08 - 15.
I am not part of any of that. Why did it not recover with driving so
many out? That does way more harm than keeping people in....

A lesson many have yet to learn...
