Like the Gerber baby, the symbol people recognized didn't necessarily have that much to do with the actual person.

RIP dude.

The....Gerber Baby? Is there a story there? She seems pretty normal and pleasant from her Wikipedia.

It doesn’t matter who the Gerber Baby really is. Society has chosen to associate the Gerber Baby with certain attributes regardless of who the person behind the photo really is, and so it is with Kevin Mitnick. Mitnick, the real person, excelled at social engineering more than any other trait and was arguably subjected to malicious prosecution. But in his later years, there’s a lot of documentation online indicating that he didn’t live up to the myth that grew around him and he was not a pleasant person [1].

People here are mostly reminiscing about Mitnick--the myth, not the man.

Regarding your source: People don't behave consistently all the time. There are probably people who have briefly met you when you were not in a good mood who would say that you are a jerk.
