This is about as "exact" as the rest of Cursitor Doom's regular nonsense.

The people I've worked for and with don't seem to think that I've got an 
attitude problem, and the closest I've got reading "Marxist Theory" are 
books like "Capital in the 21st Century" and "the Spirit Level".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Level_(book)

This is one more of Cursitor Doom's fatuous inventions.

On the contrary what John did to get up my nose was to copy my private 
e-mail - which wasn't applying for a job but responding to an open 
request by John on s.e.d. that had asked for sub-contract assistance - 
to Jim Thompson, who promptly posted a boast on s.e.d. that he'd saved 
John from making the terrible mistake of having anything to do with me.

I certainly wasn't going to more to California to take up a job with 
John, but I had done some remote consulting, and it had - sort of - worked.

Giving Jim Thompson anything to gloat about hadn't been part of the 
plan, and my already not-all-that-positive opinion of John became rather 
more negative.
