I had never heard of Kenneth Reitz and I was curious about his Python contribution so I googled him and this was one of the first results

That post is all about money. The author came into someone else’s project, acts miffed that he isn’t treated as a founder right off the bat, and then complains endlessly about where the donations went. Even belaboring the “dishonesty” of rounding 28k to 30k. I won’t read to the end because clearly this person has major faults of their own and just wrote an attack without making any reflections on himself

It certainly isn't all about money, though I think the money is worth talking about. Anyway you're welcome to make up your own mind, I thought the blog seemed credible and reasonable and it certainly cast some light on why this person is having social problems beyond just a diagnosis.

I wasn't really looking for information to discredit Reitz, it was just the first thing I stumbled upon.
