I've heard several interviews about the decisions he made at that time and came from a neutral opinion to hating his guts.

It's like he was surrounded by knowledgeable people and decided to make wrong decision upon wrong decision just to spite them because he resented them being better than him.

I got to sign an MOU from NCSA about wage ranges about a year after he left because Marc was trying to extort more money out of them to stay there working on Mosaic. He left in a huff is the story, after they paid him a bunch including his tuition.

The plus side was I was already making 10% more than any of my other friends and got another 7% for signing it.
