Linked from Lefty’s site (see Delano, zeal FUD, below). The rest of the comments, as Roy tries to wriggle out of blatant evidence that he’s a conscious and willing part of a smear campaign (against someone else in Da Community, no less) are pure comedy gold. This one is just, frankly, disturbing:
schestowitz Another thing: Microsoft tries to drive its critics into a state of desperation. It’s not so funny when you see victims of this and you see this more vividly in Microsoft’s leaks (the Slog).
twitter Like their treatment of Peter Quin or Peter Gutman?
schestowitz This is a similar strategy, based on what I am told, to what the government tried to do to those resisting unnecessary wars. Ruining their name, driving them insane or driving them to suicide. I sense that what Reiser did relates to this.
Sarcastic TM attached.
In defence of Lefty (what a weird concept), he notices this obnoxious insinuation a couple of comments down.

Microsoft clearly drove Reiser to kill his wife. After all, they raped Eric S. Raymond.
Considering Windows runs most shooting games, I’m pretty sure you can say Microsoft is also the cause for about any school massacre, especially those before Microsoft was even founded.
Piracy in South Ossetia!
There, that’s something for Roy to chew on…
Roy should make his own talk show like Jerry Springer.
He’d make good money. Lunatics loves these shows.
Now that is an awesome idea.
I’d watch it… on some sleazy website that is, in no way would I contribute to that guy’s success. I don’t even visit boycott novel anymore (you guys take care of that for me :P)
I assume this is where Roy got his information on Peter Quinn: http://government.zdnet.com/?p=1963
Quinn (properly spelt. We have standards) is obviously a wussie. He resigned for no obvious reason. Here’s his critique of massive bribery ($1000 in two parts): “Microsoft has banked on ODF not being a credible threat to them.”
And a link: http://www.cio.com/article/19965/A_Win_for_Microsoft_in_Massachusetts_
Apparently, it’s all about ODF. Here’s a slashdot link regarding support: http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/02/199203
Mod me paranoid? Perhaps. But Quinn is not dead. Barely even a scratch.
Gutman, whose surname is actually spelt “Gutmann” (Roy can’t get anything right), appears to be this loonie: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/
What the hell is the spotty little lad thinking about? I have no idea; but here’s an interesting post: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=284
So. What we appear to have here is an alleged thousand dollar bribe, in two parts, and some sort of convoluted DRM issue.
Not quite the same thing as murdering your mail-order bride, is it?
