       @sarajw interesting. craig is a very sweet person, i've known him (a bit) for 30 or so years. but have you noticed that all his big investments have his full name on them? there is a hint of ego in that, i think. ;-)

       @dave oh I don't mind a hint of ego - and his name is even on the journalism school as said in the article!But you know, we've heard enough about some really awful characters that it's nice to read an article without a "gotcha, and this is why he's awful, actually!" in it.

       @sarajw they used to say LOTS of bad stuff about him, then he started giving money to journalists and now it's nothing but sweetness and light. they were wrong when they blamed him for their troubles, and they're just as wrong now to portray him as a saint.

       @dave I can't believe there's a hagiography for this guy. Why? Because he gives to left of center causes?

       @dave @sarajw nothing egotistical about becoming the "man who saves democracy" at all 😉
