Well I dont want to give his name out :) Actually hes not completely a
nutbar, apparently he is on security topics. He's actually very
experienced with linux/unix, and has written a number of programs they
use internaly. I think the issue is that hes a bit stuck in the past
when it comes to his mentality on security topics. However he really did
piss me off going behind my back like that he even said in his email to
her to not to talk to me about this without talking to him first.
