Article on Herbert Schildt, author of C Unleashed, repaired on wikipedia

The 2000 persecution of Herbert Schildt for being a good teacher and
writer by people who can neither teach nor write used usenet, Amazon,
and wikipedia. In particular, a wikipedia article was, apparently,
created by his enemies (some of whom appear to have been motivated by
commercial gain) solely for the purpose of "damning by faint praise",
although it's higly unusual for computer authors to be profiled in
wikipedia, and primarily for the purpose of pointing to jejune web
pages and the false "definitions" of childish neologisms,

The wikipedia article has been repaired by a non-anonymous editor to
conform to wikipedia's own policies concerning the biographies of
living persons and neutral point-of-view, owing to my initial
modifications and discussion of same, in the way, in 2006, the
wikipedia "definition" of a childish neologism formed from my surname
was removed on my request.

The systematic persecution of Schildt in 2000 was a prototype for the
harassment of Java author Kathy Sierra in 2006 which included rape and
death threats, responsibility for which was disavowed by its enablers
who said, like children, like nasty youths, that they were "merely
mocking" Sierra and not responsible for unleashing a Fascist campaign.

The era of use of electronic media for malign, systematic harassment
and bullying of people seems to be drawing to a close.


I have made an exception to my policy of not posting to wikipedia
until I have finished the object-oriented regex which will establish,
once and for all, the Ugliness, and not the Beauty, of hounding good
programmers to mindlessly assemble snippets of code to bring you this
news.
