            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>
