The FBI report doesn't get to me. FBI agents are forever writing stupid crap like that about "possible subversives"--meaning people they don' t like.
The comment from "Chicken John" DOES get me. Gygax was many things but saying he "saved more lives than penicillin" is a real stretch. All he did was make an RPG that nerdy, withdrawn teenagers loved.
And who is Chicken John? Why, of course the Nerd-O-Pedia has a dissertation on him. It used to be 28k bytes long--because his lunatic friends in the SF art scene were expanding it over and over.

(Don't look at the Gygax article. It will make you want to kill yourself. The authors of it tend to be Wikipedia administrators, making said article "untouchable". He receives treatment more suited for a president or a king.)
