I am not blind, but you certainly are, since you see more eveil than
actually exists.

I do not agree with all that MS does, and never have, which you know
perfectly well. Nor do I think MS is some super-repository of evil. Have
you ever heard of taking a balanced view? Maybe you should learn to try it
before making groundless accusations.

It's quite staggering to me, that he just *cannot* see what's happening.

Storming analysis. Good find.

I've suspected for years that he's a proprietary software plant. He
spends most of his time encouraging the trolls. He's here to give Linux
a bad name.

I don't agree. Kier is just very naive and gullible. The mental age
I'd expect of a teenager. I believe he's a lot older and hence will

Are the moustaches, blood cells, shoes, or top hat of
Snidely Whiplash evil?[*]

Is either key launching Armageddon via nuclear winter
evil? [+]

Would that guy in the helmet pulling down the lever that
starts up the Death Star's Alderaan-destroying weapon be
considered evil? (I think he's shown in all of two shots,
right next to each other.)

For that matter, would the protective helmet of that
guy be evil?

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and in
any event Microsoft's objective is not to provide
child support for the unfortunate children of out-of-work
sales managers, software developers, and IT people. :-)

At least, not directly.

[rest snipped]
[*] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snidely_Whiplash . He's
the guy dressed in black.

[+] I have no idea how it's really done, but presumably
two individuals are required to turn two keys to
activate the launching system in Cold-war-era missile
silos, as portrayed in at least one movie.

Are you entirely ****ing out of your mind? Seriously. If anyone gives
Linux a bad name, it's people like you making imbecilic statements like
this. I've always been a Linux advocate. *YOU* are the one who encourages
trolls, by going on and on about MS instead of Linux.

Exactly how I can be a 'proprietary software plant', when I am currently
not even using Windows, I can't begin to imagine. Planted by whom, may I
ask? I work in a factory, I use Linux because I like it, I have no
connection whatsoever with MS.

Kier experience the full wrath of the "COLA Gang."

It's all about freedom and choice. But no "advocate" is free to say anything
that goes against the narrow party-line of the "COLA Gang" without the gang
circling the wagons in effort to discredit the "troll" or "proprietary
software plant."

I told you before, Kier. Your "love affair" with Michael Glasser (Snot)
would bite you in the arse for years to come

Oh, Mark is certainly a lunatic. His "conclusions" about linux and/or closed
source border on the "imbecile" line. His only "superior" in that case
would be "7", who is truly an imbecile

That does not change the fact that you yourself put you right into the Flak
fire line with your love to support idiots and trolls

So do tell us what top-secret contract you signed that does not allow you to

None. Because you are a delusional liar and a scumbag.

That is an out and out lie, Kier.

Once again, I remind you that these are *real people*, daddy is coming
home to tell his children that they won't be getting Christmas presents
this year, or going on holiday, because Eric Huggers has spent £130
millions with Microsoft, and has received, in return, nothing at all.
So the BBC has to sack some people and close some buildings, Kier.

These are *real people*, Kier. It's not a sob story, it's *real*.

My position on Microsoft has always been that I expect it to continue,
just not in its current form. I will *not*, however, defend their
criminal activity, any more than I will defend the criminal activities
of the BBC. I differ from you completely in this respect. Nor will I
lie about your position, whilst you are quite happy to lie about mine.
Again, I differ from you in this respect to. I value honest in others,
including businesses, and in the people I deal with, equally, I too make
the effort to be honest. You do not. You are happy to lie.
