Common Sense 101: Do Not Write Blog Posts Saying You Want to Murder Colleagues (or Yourself)

Only crazy people would think stabbings are a joke

Joseph Cantrell

When it comes to Microsofters, expressing the thought that one is eager or willing to stab colleagues is no joking matter. Sometimes that actually happens, as it did inside Microsoft a couple of years ago (premeditated in one's personal site) [1, 2]. Microsoft does not want people to remember this or talk about this. In its own campus, workers stab their coworkers. That's what happens when hiring standards are exceptionally low. Who needs coding skills anyway? Background checks? What's that?

In previous articles we wrote about sexual statements (or positions). It's OK to point out that perverse people are perverse or pose an actual risk (safety). Later they try to project that onto others, portraying harmless people as a "Safety" risk, even a 72-year-old man with cancer (we take safety very seriously and we recognise the real threats). When people talk about it in relation to one particular Microsofter he then games the legal system to send empty threats to people, then lies to the High Court about it. We know exactly what happened and have physical material to prove it.

That this Microsofter chose to work with another Microsofter (Microsoft money for a lousy firm on shoestring budget, working from the UK against people in the UK on behalf of two Americans of terrible reputation) is noteworthy as he too has an utterly weird taste in things; 3-4 years ago we wrote about that; yes, we also covered Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley's sexual perversions. It was covered before, but there's no point bringing that up again. Let's just say that calling them "unconventional" would be an understatement and statements they make in public aren't just obscene (unsafe for children; a university would dread letting teachers like these look over students) but menacing and worrying, e.g. calls for violence - a subject to be covered or revisited separately.

If the Debian Project really cared about safety, it would not allow this person near Developers and Maintainers (or anyone online for that matter [1, 2]).

Stabbing debian

In case it's not obvious, there's lots wrong about it, including statement if not admission he's a physical threat to colleagues; it can be read or interpreted as him declaring he may resort to self-harm, even suicide.

If something does happen, then Debian (or SPI) can later be held liable, mostly for ignoring warning signs and failing at duty of care (like Mark Shuttleworth did).

This does not seem like humour; what sane person writes things like these in a blog post? What sane person "jokes" about stabbing oneself and others whom he or she habitually meets in person?

He writes things like these and then tries to blame people who merely point out those facts, based on his own words, for him being unable to find a job that suits his preference (he's not a security professional anyway but a phony pretending to be one and offering advice very much contrary to real security [1, 2]).

Whether he is as bad at coding as he is at being a husband is up for debate; but this is certainly not the sort of person you should ever consider meeting in person. He's unstable to say the least.

oh good lord, New York? Thanks for the evidence that I've been part of the conspiracy for 20 years
