You did over react.
It wasn't a constructive post- it was character assasination.
That's the way I saw it anyway.
You grabbed a couple of Craig's words and really went for it, unncessarily I thought. Craig merely gave his account of how he saw him (and without the use of aggression). You can't expect everyone to share your passion to a "T". I actually mean that in a nice way. A simple I don't agree and an explanation would have done the job nicely.
Nothing personal, Bob.

Say what ever you want but you are so wrong in this statement and you know it.
Looks like you can not understand that some people do something because they love doing it not because of money. Tesla was eccentric. Slept only 3-4 hours, never married (said he doesn't have time for it). He devoted his life to science. So to say that he was a businessman first and foremost is simply wrong. Unless you were trying to be sarcastic?
