  • I’ve read it.

    Yes. Very unprofessional that the contacts in private ended up the way they did.

    Also unprofessional that Linus thought Steve was ignoring him when he was just texting the wrong number.

    But those sound a lot more like incompetence than malice to me. A lot of the story is things that could’ve been solved with better communication.

    The “scale of blame” definitively sounds like it’s tilted towards LMG. But I don’t really care about that right now. What I care about is that I really hope they talk for real instead of trying and failing to understand each other by text/email and then involving the audience in their fight by taking it public.

    I want them to talk like adults, and I want to stop feeling like I’m being made to watch a children’s quarrel.






  • There are various attempts at categorizing ADHD, of various levels of scientific credibility.

    The one I hear most often are “predominantly inattentive” and “predominantly hyperactive”.

    There are also quack psychology tests that break it down into basically zodiac signs.

    Such distinctions can have their uses for clearer diagnostic pictures or educating people who need to handle others’ ADHDs, but they’re not nearly as important as they are in diabetes. They’re arbitrary and they don’t completely change the mechanism of the condition, as far as we’re aware. It just doesn’t affect much.

    In short, there aren’t really formal distinctions because it wouldn’t be very practically useful to have them, and because it would be hard to agree on universal types.
