This twitter exchange I had with him and the infamous Tony Morris was all I needed to know I don't want or need to have anything to do with either of them--and furthermore spending time learning from either of them may actually hurt me, if it encourages me to starting thinking the same way they do:
I love Haskell and spend a lot of time learning it, but I've gotten by just fine without his resources. The fact is that a lot of far more tolerant and far less self-aggrandizing folks have been patiently teaching Haskell for a long time. Check out #haskell (or #nothaskell, lots of nice folks there too) and ask for help if you need it.

An author/creators personal qualities does not detract from their work. For example, Orson Scott Card, the author of Ender's Game has some pretty homophobic and bigoted views. However, that does not take away from the fact that his books are enjoyable.
