Indeed.

It was removed 3 years ago because it didn't follow the title guidelines:

Here are the ridiculously specific title guidelines: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/wiki/titles

I'd argue that Reddit is not trying to erase Aaron:

He had the physical stature of a hobbit.

His moral stature was moreso.

He helped make millions of articles free to everyone. Academics provided those articles to journals for free. He helped spread knowledge freely to the global public. He was possibly suicided or directly guided to that.

So very moral?

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

A naive idealist.

Let's also not forget that spezzy didn't add him to founders page on Reddit blog and no one even noticed.

Which approaches by him annoyed you?

(He's been mainly a tool of the corporate office in the past 10+ years, an admin for a range of very different problems. Before that he was more of a Redditor. Aren't really any flies on him. It's difficult to see anything originating specifically from him, though he's the most influential admin. The only Redditors who really know him were around 10+ years ago.)

Yeah he wanted free speech, he died and we lost free speech.

He got locked up before killing himself didn’t he?

He was getting strongarmed by the FBI, they were threatening him with all kinds of shit.

Was anyone here at his funeral, did you guys see the body? I ask because this guy could be chilling in Israel under an assumed name and we'd never even know it.
