Got this one some hours ago:

I need you to help me protect Open Source. Would you please visit

It’s all just incongruous quotes, hearsay and speculation of the ‘don’t you see the pattern?’ kind. I wouldn’t call you a ‘conspiracy nut’, but a tad misguied and hugely obsessive you certainly are.

Wow, you really are some conspiracy nut.

It’s a fact, not a conspiracy or a speculation. We sometimes make speculations, but this is hardly one of them.

Of course that’s what Microsoft wants I could deliver you simple quotes like “I’d like all open source to run on top of windows” ~ Steve Ballmer, but that’s way too easy.

There mere fact that MS is pushing it on .net is enough evidence, regardless of any attempts to trivialize or minimize it .

Your conclusion that “Microsoft wants Ruby developers to be Windows-dependent, Microsoft-dependent, Microsoft licence-dependent and it wants to deprive rival platforms” is not supported by the evidence at all.

FAIL!

Ironically, the name also gives away its role as an embrace, extend and extinguish ambition (replacing the Web). See this good interview with timbl (from yesterday):

Bet yet: .NYET (russian for NO)
