Is Bukowski generally seen as a role model?

I don't think the dude drunken rambling on reddit was aspiring to be a role model, just share what he perceived as wisdom he's gained in life.

He wasn't drunken rambling though, he was getting drunk to do it. I think there's a real difference in message there - as much as it was probably fake.

He's certainly more famous that most HN posters :)

Perhaps he also had fun doing it.
