schestowitz | ¶6. (C) In fact, questions about the alleged U.S. ties to the | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | MB were probably the least of Akef's worries during his | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | appearance on Orbit. Early on the show, the interviewer set | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | him up with several questions clarifying the MB's calls for | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | transparency in Presidential elections and its support for | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | term limits. The interviewer then led Akef into explaining | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | the process by which he was selected Supreme Guide, (by the | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | 15-member Guidance Bureau), acknowledging that details of the | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | group's by-laws were not public, and conceding that the MB | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | itself imposed no term-limits on its leadership. Going in | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | for the kill, the interviewer stated that, in sum, a group | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | that called for democracy, transparency, and term limits | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | applied none of these principles to its own governance. Akef | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | appeared rattled. | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | Sep 15 00:27 | |
schestowitz | ¶7. (C) Later in the program, the interviewer asked Akef if he | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | knew what "Windows" was and who Bill Gates is. An annoyed | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | Akef asked, "Is this live? ....Are you trying to show off?" | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | Akef conceded he knew nothing about either Windows or Bill | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | Gates but asserted "When I need to know something, I have | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | hundreds and even thousands of assistants who can provide me | Sep 15 00:27 |
schestowitz | with information on any topic." | Sep 15 00:27 |

TechrightsSocial | @George Hostler (ghostler)'s status on Thursday, 15-Sep-11 02:16:48 UTC - Identi.ca: @schestowitz Roy, that video is very logical and makes sense. "Some people" reminds me of c.o.l.advocacy trolls ignoring facts spouting FUD. | Sep 15 07:56 |

TechrightsSocial | @rex1ballard: @schestowitz As usual, Microsoft clones Linux & competitor technology, releases it years later,r and calls it "Innovation". But breaks it. | Sep 15 07:56 |

schestowitz | I mostly ignore the classification also sometimes it provides a clue into the likelihood of a smoking gun being inside. | Sep 15 08:25 |

schestowitz | Today my mate Kieran got a job where I do exercise | Sep 15 20:51 |
schestowitz | Which is kind of cool staff/friend | Sep 15 20:51 |
schestowitz | There's this sick stalker who seems to think my life outside IT is some kind of secret | Sep 15 20:52 |
schestowitz | And he struggles to make 'dirt' out of it, which is abundantly amusing | Sep 15 20:52 |
Snit | Who? | Sep 15 21:00 |
Snit | Sounds aweful. | Sep 15 21:00 |
Snit | Your personal life has nothing to do with your work on your site or in COLA. Whoever is doing this is just flat out wrong. | Sep 15 21:00 |
Snit | It is not a matter of it being a secret, it is a matter of it not being relevant and completely inappropriate for this person to use against you. Whoever it is I will back you and speak up on your behalf. | Sep 15 21:01 |
Snit | Or, wait... are you saying this "stalker" is not willing to talk about your private life? Are they doing anything in terms of your private life? If not, how are they a "stalker"? | Sep 15 21:03 |
qu1j0t3 | Snit: what would their motives be? | Sep 15 22:30 |
Snit | To target someone's personal and professional lives outside of the context of a discussion? | Sep 15 22:32 |
qu1j0t3 | their personal life, yes. | Sep 15 22:32 |
Snit | Well, I have had stalkers and trolls tie their own lying to my personal and business life - seeding Google with my business name and their lies | Sep 15 22:32 |
Snit | I have had people contact family members and lie to them. | Sep 15 22:32 |
Snit | Even to mention that type of stuff is a form of intimidation. Why else would it even be mentioned? | Sep 15 22:33 |
qu1j0t3 | exactly | Sep 15 22:33 |
qu1j0t3 | "You drive a green Corolla. Isn't that interesting?" | Sep 15 22:33 |
Snit | SO I want to know who Roy is talking about. As much as I disagree with him, I would back him on this. | Sep 15 22:34 |
qu1j0t3 | "Funny how you stop at the same coffee shop every morning, isn't it?" | Sep 15 22:34 |
Snit | Right... | Sep 15 22:34 |
qu1j0t3 | schestowitz tends to tick off some pretty nasty people. | Sep 15 22:34 |
qu1j0t3 | i've had brushes with extremely dishonest people. | Sep 15 22:34 |
Snit | I have had people talk about when I teach specific classes, the names of my neighbors, etc. | Sep 15 22:34 |
Snit | To be clear: I am *not* referring to Roy on that. | Sep 15 22:34 |
qu1j0t3 | when somebody's scam is uncovered, they bite back. I've seen people victimised for calling out fraud. | Sep 15 22:34 |
qu1j0t3 | attacked | Sep 15 22:35 |
Snit | I respond to trolls and give them attention... and that leads to them sometimes attacking me. | Sep 15 22:35 |
qu1j0t3 | in various ways | Sep 15 22:35 |
Snit | Ditto | Sep 15 22:35 |
qu1j0t3 | whistleblowers tend to attract flak | Sep 15 22:35 |
Snit | Yes. | Sep 15 22:35 |
Snit | And note, even though Roy has at least danced on this line in terms of me, if someone has crossed it in terms of him I will back him and note it is wrong for anyone to do this to him. | Sep 15 22:35 |
qu1j0t3 | of course. | Sep 15 22:36 |
Snit | By the way, how did you know I drive a green corolla? | Sep 15 22:37 |
qu1j0t3 | LOL! | Sep 15 22:37 |
Snit | I am just kidding... of course. Before that is taken out of context by someone. | Sep 15 22:38 |
