(CNN)There's no one version of Steve Jobs.
Genius. Storyteller.
Myth-making salesman. Hard-nosed businessman.
Adventurous seeker. Brutal critic.
There are teenagers who see him as another Einstein, the man who unlocked their technological dreams with Apple's -- that is, Jobs' -- iPhones, iPads and Macs.
There are colleagues who see him as a harsh taskmaster who, nonetheless, helped drive them to create their best work. And there are loved ones and rivals who see him as selfish, evasive, distant and cruel.

He was, as director Alex Gibney's film "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine" shows, whatever you wanted to see.
Here are five details that offer glimpses into the man:

Really???? What makes you think Steve Jobs was gay???? IDIOT! Obscenities do not belong on FreeRepublic.
there is no abuse button but this is porn.
Zot.
“Zot.”
Should be immediate and permanent.
Mods seem to be asleep at the switch.
Yes it should be. No place on FR for this!
I think you are right. Don’t think I have seen much like this on FR in all the years I have been here.
I hit the abuse as soon as I saw it. . . but that was quite some time ago. Where are the admin moderators?

Please remove this pornographic image.
Begin, be gone. You clearly have an obsession with phallic items, must have taken you forever to photoshop this porn graphic. Disgusting, your sexual habits do not belong on a FR forum.
Reported. Be gone.
His post is toast, hopefully he is, too. This is a family forum. That was far worse than anything anyone else has posted and some have posted some pretty bad things on Apple threads.
So these perverts malign and insult us for trying to seek information regarding the products we bought and use. And they resort to sick porno images to draw attention to themselves. They do an injustice to this forum.
Extreme perversion is usually the mark of a liberal. Every once in awhile they pop up and reveal their true natures around here.
That's an interesting proposition. I wouldn't go so far as to say extreme perversion is a mark of a liberal, although we see plenty of examples of that. I don't know many transexuals who are conservatives. Have you seen the 1993 Michael Douglas movie "Falling Down"? It shows what can happen to an otherwise normal man when all those things that matter to him in life are taken away, one by one. Job, wife, dignity, credit, kids etc. Person under stress snaps. Takes it out on those around him. Yet he sees himself as the victim, as he harasses others. (Good movie.)
What I'm saying, is that some people who might consider themselves conservative may be under stress and have snapped, and harass others yet do not see themselves as an instigator and troublemaker. It's one facet of human fragility, getting stressed out and then partaking in perversions. As you say, once in a while they reveal their true nature. Yet they don't see anything wrong with the perversion they display, continuing to think they are conservative, and that is troubling.
Liberals ARE under extreme stress, so they fit your example. Liberals have rejected common sense and personal responsibility. They have accepted group control of their lives and undermined their own personal integrity. They are always frightened because they can never trust their own feelings or opinions without first getting group approval. They hurt others and do evil at the command of their groups, while knowing they do wrong. They live in sheer hypocrisy. And, I believe, it drives them insane with stress and fear. It’s why they ALL take antidepressants, to stop themselves from feeling anything at all, so they don’t have to experience how wrongly they are living their lives.
Glad I didn’t see it, then. I once started a thread on, I believe it was, a FA Hayek writing. And somebody proceeded to post a huge - and hugely offensive - image. That is when you really appreciate the mods.Good time to wish them a
Happy New Year And thanks.
