I greatly appreciate the fact that someone is trying to innovate in this space and I wish him success. I don't know or care if he self identifies as a victim like you describe. I just appreciate him for his actions and tenacity.
Tenacity implies honest attempts to succeed. Aaron Greenspan reads as someone who sets himself up to fail in order to reinforce his own persecution complex. Tenacious people adapt and go around obstacles, they don't run straight into them and waste their time whining about it to everyone who will listen.
