Bonum Certa Men Certa

Even After Microsoft Lost Its PR 'Asset' at Ars Technica (Arrested for Sexually Abusing Kids) Ars Technica Persists With Microsoft Advocacy (in 'News' Form)

This is what Twitter's correlation tests have shown/yielded:

Pedophile Peter



Summary: Pedophile Peter (or Microsoft Peter), the person who for nearly a decade served Microsoft and dished out ridiculous puff pieces at a large publisher (often attacking GNU/Linux and FOSS while facilitating Microsoft entryism), remains shackled and imprisoned; his employer has done virtually nothing on the matter since his arrest (complete silence, inaction, keeping the PR in tact and adding to it)

IT HAS been nearly two months since Microsoft Peter was arrested; based on our research and readings, his legal defense is absolutely laughable. He cannot defend the indefensible and he was unable to spin what he had told FBI agents. He admitted to them they he had engaged in sexual activities with kids and nobody in the media disputes this (not even sites that link quite a lot to Ars Technica). Over the past few weeks I repeatedly wrote about the subject and one reader sent us the above screenshot, which serves to show how closely connected Microsoft Peter was to Microsoft (they fed him "scoops"; they were like his media "handlers"). As explained below ("tweets" are very informal), nothing at all has changed at the publisher. Nothing. It's beyond irresponsible and unprofessional. No remorse.
