Apparently not, which is why I've seen multiple people in this thread say he 
was a brilliant
orator and "more/better quotes from him should be in the db".

You can argue that's objectively correct; he was manipulative and knew how 
to get
others to do his bidding. But again, a silly Unix program is not the place 
to bring
attention to this fact. I don't see how "Well, he said some 
interesting/quotable things" or
"his artwork was interesting" is anything but a _distraction_ from the fact 
he was a
horrible human being. Nor do I see how either of those factoids carry 
anywhere near
as much weight about his character as his actions in life.

So I can't really blame those that are, have been
and will be offended.
