ESR is the biggest troll who just will not go away. 

1) He's contributed very little code; his "Art of Unix Programming" is
300 pages of flamebait. 2) He hurts open source by mixing it with petty
partisan politics; 3) He insists on the title "hacker", even though he
doesn't even fit his own definition of what a hacker is, 4) acts like a
12 year old.
