schestowitzYes, I'll let them know.Apr 13 07:50
schestowitzI've been thinking about it. I cannot write a post that calls for people to leave a sure that's still running. That needs to be a guest post from a TR member who is also a GL member (more so than I have been).Apr 13 08:08

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @verofakto @directhex I think so. But in any field of endeavor, people might just  be uneasy about his mental condition when they read TR.Apr 13 10:38
roy_http://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/57918774984183808Apr 13 10:38
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @verofakto @directhex Seriously, none of us would want to employ a maniac who's obsessed and writes 13,000 posts to fight for crazy ideas.Apr 13 10:38
roy_LOL, now they try to imply drug useApr 13 10:39

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @verofakto @directhex Yes, this will make people think very hard about who they're dealing with. It even raises the question of drugs.Apr 13 10:39
TechrightsBot-sc@verofakto: @FOSSpatents @directhex I'm pretty sure he wasn't thinking of that when his reign of [t]error started. But eventually he'll regret it.Apr 13 10:39

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @verofakto If he had positioned TR at least as a moderately reasonable site, he could now benefit from the fact that Groklaw is finished.Apr 13 10:39

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @verofakto I don't always agree with him. For someone who uses a GNUbies.org email address his efforts to do objective coverage are amazing.Apr 13 10:40
MinceR"don't always" is kind of an understatementApr 13 10:42
schestowitzHehApr 13 10:43
schestowitzHe's "Reasonable"Apr 13 10:43
schestowitzLike RANDApr 13 10:43
oiaohmReasonable is a nice highly grey term.Apr 13 13:19
schestowitzUsually when you do something bad or not so goodApr 13 14:05
schestowitzAnd then you say you can reason to justify itApr 13 14:05
schestowitzLike, "Don't get me wrong"Apr 13 14:06
schestowitz"With all due respect"Apr 13 14:06
schestowitz"OK, look..... [pause]"Apr 13 14:06
schestowitzWatch out for these termsApr 13 14:06
schestowitzAnd other people have told me about similar terms their eyes opened up to, but I can't remember them to name offhandApr 13 14:06

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @directhex TR is too crazy a blog to be an alternative to the GL kind of crowd. Roy can't feed them with pseudolegal B.S. the way "PJ" did.Apr 13 18:11

TechrightsBot-sc@directhex: @FOSSpatents other than having a name attached, and a different focus, how does her "pseudolegal B.S." differ from your own?Apr 13 18:34

TechrightsBot-sc@directhex: @FOSSpatents being quoted doesn't make you right, though.Apr 13 18:37
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @directhex It's not proof of being right, but it is an indication if highly specialized, in some cases legally educated reporters do so.Apr 13 18:37
