schestowitzYou covered it all except that he 'spams' people with blogs/publications and promotes Mono, even in the Linux kernel list (they berated him for it).Jan 18 11:33
schestowitz> I don't have the log, but cubezzz on IRC #techrights yesterday wroteJan 18 11:40

schestowitzHe told me yesterday that he no longer promotes Mono. But it was all part of an attempt to claim all my statements were false.Jan 18 11:40

schestowitzThe terrorists are probably Algerian government sponsored agents, providing the excuse for the Mali invasion. Jan 18 14:41
schestowitzThe Algerian government did the same after they annulled elections which moderate islamists won, causing a reign of terror to frighten people from ever voting for islamists. Jan 18 14:41
schestowitzThe then "islamic terrorists", the GIA, were given political asylum by Tony Blair and afterwards granted an amnesty by the Algerian government - and no doubt got a big fat pay check as well.Jan 18 14:41
