If they didn't shovel, it was an act of Gaud, so they weren't responsible.

Sat 15:13:16  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ FSF fund-raiser: 212k now. As seen at top of https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/
Sat 15:15:19  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ Gulagboy appears to have hit a cycle of illness-depression-illness. Abusing and defaming people is a recipe for personal tragedy.
Sat 15:16:48  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ So defaming FSF people will generally get hard and also legally risky (there are papers in the UK High Court naming at least 3 FSF Board members/FS people, as examples of people abused online), as shall become apparent one day
Sat 15:17:25  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ So thanks to Techrights, Gulagboy already needs to be super-careful with his online conduct
Sat 15:18:05  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ Also to avoid restraining orders and injunctions in case his abuses carry on
Sat 15:19:33  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ Today, exactly 3.5 months since this http://techrights.org/n/2024/09/06/Why_We_Are_Suing_Matthew_J_Garrett_for_Harassment_and_Why_It_s_.shtml , Gulagboy has failed to file a Defence. Stalling, delaying, making excuses like a spoiled kid.
Sat 15:20:46  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ Because some people simply cannot accept the idea they do something illegal, they always see them (themselves) as the victims. Apparently adding "SJW" on your name makes you immune to criticism AND always the victim.
Sat 15:21:52  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ In the legal system, however, putting "SJW" flair next to the name does not win you legal battles like social control media with "warrior" editors (moderators who love banning critics of rich people and big corporations)
Sat 15:22:36  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ This is why Techrights is winning this and Gulagboy is now retreating to Microsoft for "HELP!"
Sat 15:24:21  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ And of course he still reads everything in IRC (and makes this known). Talking in IRC, however, would be way too risky for him. He just hides behind Mustafa and sends threatening letters every now and then. Not worth the paper it's typed on.

Sat 15:25:36  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ 3.5 months passed. Still no Defence filed by him. He MUST file one.
Sat 15:26:27  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ Else, contempt of court in a country _he does not even live in_ (but is happy to exploit to harass Microsoft critics)
Sat 15:27:56  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ Then again, in the UK Microsoft treats corruption like an accomplishing, nothing at all to be shamed of http://techrights.org/n/2024/10/22/Microsoft_Waters_Down_Articles_About_Its_Corruption_in_the_UK.shtml
Sat 15:29:56  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ What Matt does not say is that this legal terrorism is funded by a Microsoft proxy (with long history and Microsoft "assets" inside it). It almost looks like Microsoft is provoking and attacking WordPress, but it's complicated to prove definitively. https://wordpress.org/news/2024/12/holiday-break/

Sat 15:31:54  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ So Microsoft's strategy is now: vandalise, infiltrate, harass and terrorise the competition.

Sat 15:34:48  │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 	│ Watch out for Microsoft. It's a snake. It also hired snakes and criminals. It uses them as mules/hecnhmen/golems/minions, sometimes without them even realising it, criticism certainly not permitted http://techrights.org/o/2023/04/16/joseph-cantrell-censored-by-microsoft/

Sun 02:27:42  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I was looking at the Soviet T-34 tank. There was a case where a single German tank destroyed over 30 of these things in one go before it was too damaged by the T-34s to keep going.
Sun 02:28:19  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But the problem the Nazis had was they'd build one of those stupid Panzers, it cost a fortune, it was a gaz guzzler, then it would just get out there and break down or suffer damage and you couldn't field repair it.
Sun 02:28:33  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They couldn't build them as quickly.
Sun 02:28:39  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So losing one of them hurt.
Sun 02:28:57  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But when they did work, they could definitely inflict damage.

Sun 02:30:33  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The standard one on the US tanks was not impressive. It was difficult to penetrate thick armor on a Panzer.
Sun 02:31:11  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ If you could get that bigger gun on it you were more evenly matched. Armor not as good, but fast.
Sun 02:31:48  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You just had to find a weak spot like tread or try to use a high explosive shell and hit under the turret and hope to jam something.

Sun 04:03:06  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ It has been a non-member observer state of the United Nations General Assembly since November 2012.[4][5] This limited status is largely due to the fact that the United States, a permanent member of the UN Security Council with veto power, has consistently used its veto or threatened to do so to block Palestine's full UN membership.[6][7]
Sun 04:03:08  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ LOL
Sun 04:03:22  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ US law also requires us to defund any UN body that recognizes Palestine.
Sun 04:03:49  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So if they recognize it, they have to figure out how to deal with a 29% budget cut or raise assessments on other members.
