ago, this month, published it as his own work. And been
against me ever since. My CPTSD (100% veteran
service-connected) comes with an exquisitely sensitive
deception meter. There are those who shunned me and
ostracized me and made me feel MOST UNWELCOME. For 20
years. My delusions kick in and I start suspecting back
channel communications against me. My love for Squeak
conflicted with what I knew was happening. but I hung in
there and worked on Cryptography, work with a group of great
people and that I am satisfied with its added value to
Squeak. For 20 years I KNEW people were against me in the
community. I cannot describe how negatively this affected
me. My third suicide attempt, in 2007 I jumped off the roof
of a 6 story apartment building and broke my back along with
many bones. God did not want me to die, yet, so I lived.
This deception and ostracism is most well highlighted by the
taking credit for my work, without attribution. He is a
complete tool. SHAME!</span></p>

You may wish to hear John's judgement on the matter. He was right there
when it was first built.
If you are not humble you will be humiliated, and brought low.
