I am completely convinced that I was assassinated, with prejudice, in 2000. I worked at Exobox, with John as my fantastic, incredible mentor, the best, until November 2000 (I think) when Exobox went away. My fault with the failing networking code. :(((

I did the entire, completely functional VMMakerTool September, into October of 2000. That means the timestamps were altered; somebody added a year. Hmmm. Ask the Hon. John Sarkela. John asked me to demonstrate the tool to tim. tim asked for my code.

I was assassinated.

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!
