No, you're right. He deserves most of the criticism aimed his way and he knows it. However, factual inaccuracy crosses a line and I apologize. There's more to the story than what Greenspun claims but I don't want to make any more public comments about it. I really just wanted to get the "be cautious of old lisp programmers" meme out there.

Your comments seem to indicate you have an axe to grind about lisp, but there is not much evidence that lisp programmers (or old programmers) are any better or worse than other kinds of programmers in building products people want or starting companies that survive.

Perhaps you should shorten your meme to "be cautious of programmers" or just "be cautious".
