So, CE, somewhere, at some time, some nondescript person that got fired for not doing their job, said Steve Jobs was a hard-ass.
Oddly, it's all conjecture and insinuation, with absolutely nothing to back you up - kinda like China Sailor's M.O.
Yet, on the other hand, there's plenty of primary sources, from the past 4 decades, not entirely backing up either of your trolling attempts. Weird thing, about facts, isn't it?

What a great story:
http://blog.pluckytree.org/2011/10/last-time-i-saw-steve-jobs.html
I worked at Apple from April of 1999 through July of 2011. I've never written publicly about that experience, but I wanted to share a little moment that will always be with me, even though it's not of any great significance.
After leaving my job at Apple, I dropped in for lunch one day. I was exiting the main building, Infinite Loop One, and just ahead of me was Steve Jobs, walking with the usual spring in his step that never seemed to go away even as he started looking more frail. Bumping into Steve was a surprisingly common occurrence for such a large company as Apple.
Steve was heading towards a car parked next to the curb with its door open, waiting for him. The car was idling. A family was standing near the Apple sign outside the building, a common site for people to take photos on their pilgrimages to Apple.
The father turned to Steve as he passed close by and asked, "Excuse me, sir, would you mind taking our photo?"
Steve paused for a moment as an iPhone was extended to him, realizing that they didn't seem to know who he was. With a hint of enthusiasm, he said "Sure!" as he took the iPhone into his hands.
Steve took a great deal of care composing the photo, backing up a few steps several times, tapping the iPhone screen to lock focus, then said "Smile!" as he snapped the photo, grinning a little bit himself to encourage the family to follow suit.
He handed back the iPhone and they said "Thank you, sir" as Steve stepped into his car, closed the door, and was driven away. The family looked at the photo that Steve had taken and all agreed that it looked great. Then the iPhone was pocketed and they were on their way.
And that was the last time I saw Steve Jobs.

Jobs should be canonized.
Or maybe they should split his remains in minuscules pieces and sell them at auction. I am sure that all his followers would pay for them such amounts that we would be able to solve hunger in Africa. Come to think of it, this way Jobs would help the world even more dead than he did alive. I may bid for piece of a nail.... or an eyelash.

Not all roses with Forstall, but then again, that might make him pretty good.
He's at odds with several other essential VPs at Apple, apparently - then again, Jon Rubinstein can't stand him, so that makes him okay in my book, already.

I worked in the Valley before Apple and post Apple Jobs, the word was out from the beginning he was a paranoid jerk. That did not change from insider information that I received first hand through out the years
Good to know the truth CE!
Anything written by the forum clown Daffyduck can be dismissed as bullshit

He's was not very well liked from the get go. I worked in Silicon Valley (In high tech) from the late 70's to Mid 80's and had a opportunity to observe from a distance the development of Apple and knew engineers/software people working at Apple during that period. Iron fisted control freak he was.
Some people insist on viewing the world through rose colored glasses. People tend to polish the Apple, when somebody dies. Just like when Jobs health issues first surfaced, Daffy was in denial.

CalEden: "Some people insist on viewing the world through rose colored glasses...."
How very true.
Some people even insist on just repeating hearsay.
Yet other people insist on asking questions and finding out where certain allegations come from, and whether there is any truth in them.
