The article about Eric Raymond in Wikipedia certainly paints an intriguing portrait, even if some of the facts seem to be in dispute. A US technology visionary, Raymond is described as both an anarcho-capitalist (defined elsewhere in the online encyclopedia as a libertarian who believes in the completely unfettered workings of the market) and a neopagan “initiate witch and coven leader”. He is said to be an “enthusiastic amateur musician”, a strong opponent of gun control, and a controversial commentator who has argued that blacks are responsible for a larger proportion of crimes than whites because they have lower IQs. His claim to a black belt in taekwondo is unsubstantiated, and his self-professed leading role in the Linux software development project is said to be in dispute.
