I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you though. Or sorry that it happened.
All I will say is that you didn’t know Aaron. I did. And for you to claim that I am the one misusing his legacy is insulting to me as someone who STILL sits on the board of the non-profit he founded, which continues to this day do everything we can to make his legacy real.
I got angry at you for daring to claim that I was somehow abusing Aaron’s legacy, a person I knew and worked with, and who invited me to help govern his non-profit. Aaron is a figment of your imagination, based on what you think you know about him. The only one misrepresenting his legacy for your own benefit is you. I knew him. And for you to accuse me of abusing his legacy is fucking insulting to me and Aaron.
Please go find somewhere else to spew your absolute fucking nonsense. If you want to worship Aaron’s ghost, do so somewhere else. He was a real human being, who I knew. I don’t need some clueless, reading comprehension challenged rando, to attack my integrity over a false belief of a guy you never met would think.
It’s great that you think Aaron is a personal saint of yours. You should maybe learn a bit more about his actual life, and not just what a 2 hour documentary said about the guy.
