I respect your opinion, and I freely admit that I know little about ESR's blogging.

I will modify my statement to say that he deserves some respect; I will not agree with you that he deserves none at all (although that may change when I get the time to follow up on the links you have provided).

I did say he can be an ass.

[edit] I also think it's worth noting that ESR didn't author the Jargon file, although he has likely added to it during the time he has hosted it.
