Dave, I’ve mentioned I’m white and male and that I’m 42 and been working for almost 20 years in this space if you actually read what I wrote. I acknowledge that I come from a space of privilege as a white guy who went to college (and even had it paid for by family) and who managed to become a paid tech worker during the first net boom, catching the wave at just the right time.
I find you to be an amazingly unpleasant and unuseful net personality so you can feel free to ignore my criticisms if you like. I try to ignore yours. You’ve called me an “asshole” on your blog at least once, though that was probably 13 years ago.
To be clear, I think you speak from a space of amazing privilege, don’t acknowledge, and then bitch that people aren’t seeing things your way without understanding that your way is not the norm and is, actually, very special. Most people don’t have the advantages you’ve had. This isn’t even getting into your various comments about women over the years.
