I guess I meant normal as in not-a-sociopath. As another commenter said, Gates was definitely intense. But then a lot of other people can be similarly described (maybe not to the same degree, but someone like Linus is not exactly known for being mild mannered[1], but he's definitely not a sociopath).
But thanks for the link though, I'll check it out. I must've suppressed all my Gates-criticism for all the good he's doing now.
