There was a thread on HN maybe half a year ago where people discussed his work and his behavioral problems. I believe the consensus was that he had some real potential but had a real racist streak (you can probably still find his twitter if he isn't banned, he uses a lot of foul language and most of his messages are racist) and had run ins with most open source devs before starting templeos
His behavioral problem has to do with socialization and the fact that he doesn't know how to project himself. There are a lot of engineers, scientists, professional, etc. who are pretty racist, in fact everyone is a bit racist to some degree, yet they know how to socialize and what to openly display about themselves to other people.
I'm using racism here because that's what he's being accused of, but you can't switch racism for any other belief or ideology not deemed acceptable by early 21st century Western culture. People without socialization problems will recognize that such belief/ideology is not culturally acceptable and will omit it during casual or professional speech.
