HN Theater has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention TheTedNelson's video "THE JACKAL'S CURSE: A FEATURE-LENGTH REPLY to "THE CURSE OF XANADU"".
Youtube Summary
'The Curse of Xanadu', by Gary Wolf, is full of distortions
if not outright lies.

The Jackal's 1995 attack in Wired Magazine still spreads its poison. We consider some of his nasties and seemingly deliberate untruths, and ask why the magazine chose to act with such viciousness against both Ted Nelson and Roger Gregory.

This is the fuller reply,
recorded in December 2013 at Chapman University.

Also, if anyone really wants to find out Nelson's thoughts on that article, he recently (Aug 2020) released a feature-length video addressing it and its lasting impact.
